I need some tRNA(Gln1) from E. coli to make experiments of charging. 
Does anyone know where could I buy it? Thanks in advance,
Orlando

Hi

Can anyone tell me, for which tRNA species
the crystal structures been elucidated for (apart from
tRNAphe from yeast). Do you have any refs? Know of any
commercial (or other) supplies of these species?

Also are there any RNA structures (eg group 1 introns)
whose crystal structures have been elucidated but not published yet?

Thanks in advance

Kalim Mir

Kalim,

There are structures of initiator tRNAs from yeast (Paul Sigler group) and
E. coli (Alexander Rich group). I have those refs handy:

Schevitz et al., Nature 278:188, 1979
Woo et al., Nature 286:346, 1980
Basavappa et al., EMBO 10:3105, 1991

Dino Moras' group did free tRNAAsp. Lee and Fresco had very low-res data on
tRNAGly in the early 80s; I don't know if that ever reached the literature.
Any other free tRNAs, anyone?

There are structures of synthetases complexed with tRNAs from various
species: Glu (Tom Steitz group), Asp (Dino Moras group) and Ser (Steve Cusack
group). They may or may not be helpful depending on what you want to learn
from them. Current Opinion in Structural Biology 5:48, 1995 will get you
started on those refs.

> Know of any commercial (or other) supplies of these species?

Subriden RNA
PO Box 121
Rollingbay, WI 98061
206-842-8746
206-685-2582

Caveat: it's been some time since I contacted them myself.

Poul Nissen solved the complex of EF-Tu and tRNAPhe; it was presented at the
ribosome meeting in the spring but I don't believe it's out yet.  The teaser
is in FEBS Letters 356(2-3):165-8, 1994 Dec 19. Udo Heinemann is working on
the C-terminal domain of IF3 complexed to tRNAfMet. I don't know how far
they've gotten.

Why do you want to know?

Cheers,

Ooops; that's IF3, not IF2. I was projecting.

Aaargh! IF*2*, not IF*3*.
