RESUMO
Seven oligonucleotides corresponding to the 3' and 5' sequences of the acceptor stem of yeast tRNAPhe have been prepared by chemical synthesis, chemical-enzymatic synthesis or by isolation from tRNA hydrolysates. The oligonucleotides have been examined as substrates for phosphodiester bond synthesis in the presence of ATP as catalysed by yeast ATP (CTP): tRNA nucleotidyltransferase. Oligonucleotides which correspond to the sequence of the 3'-strand of the tRNA acceptor stem and possess no secondary structure exhibit little or no activity with the enzyme. The ability of the enzyme to catalyse the synthesis of a phosphodiester linkage using ATP and an oligonucleotide corresponding to the 3'-strand of the acceptor stem is in general dramatically increased when an oligonucleotide corresponding to the sequence of the 5'-strand of tRNA acceptor stem is present. In cases where significant activity was observed kinetic parameters have been determined.
