Abstract
The acceptor helix of histidine tRNAs in Escherichia coli is capped by a unique base pair in which the cytosine at the discriminator position is paired with an extra guanosine at -1. In previous in vitro studies, the presence of the G-1:C73 base pair was found to be required to obtain both optimal histidylation by histidyl-tRNA synthetase and accurate 5' processing by RNase P. We investigated the role of G-1:C73 in histidine tRNA identity and found that nucleotide substitutions conferred mischarging by other amino acids in a pattern that correlated with the discriminator base and not with the extra nucleotide at -1. As shown by primer extension experiments, the relatively minor role of the -1 nucleotide in vivo could be attributed to altered RNase P processing. These studies show that interactions of tRNAs in vivo both with RNase P during tRNA biosynthesis and with the pool of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases can modulate the effects of substitutions at recognition nucleotides, eliciting changes in transfer RNA identity.
