Structure of tRNA
Structure of tRNA. CCA tail in orange, Acceptor stem in purple, D arm in red, Anticodon arm in blue with Anticodon in black, T arm in green.tRNA has primary structure, secondary structure (usually visualized as the cloverleaf structure), and tertiary structure (all tRNAs have a similar L-shaped 3D structure that allows them to fit into the P and A sites of the ribosome).
The 5'-terminal phosphate group.
The acceptor stem is a 7-bp stem made by the base pairing of the 5'-terminal nucleotide with the 3'-terminal nucleotide (which contains the CCA 3'-terminal group used to attach the amino acid). The acceptor stem may contain non-Watson-Crick base pairs.
The CCA tail is a CCA sequence at the 3' end of the tRNA molecule. This sequence is important for the recognition of tRNA by enzymes critical in translation. In prokaryotes, the CCA sequence is transcribed. In eukaryotes, the CCA sequence is added during processing and therefore does not appear in the tRNA gene.
The D arm is a 4 bp stem ending in a loop that often contains dihydrouridine.
The anticodon arm is a 5-bp stem whose loop contains the anticodon.
The T arm is a 5 bp stem containing the sequence TΨC where Ψ is a pseudouridine.
Bases that have been modified, especially by methylation, occur in several positions outside the anticodon. The first anticodon base is sometimes modified to inosine (derived from adenine) or pseudouridine (derived from uracil).
hello,
The cloverleaf model of tRNA shows that tRNA contains three non-base-paired loops: D, anticodon, and TpsiC loop
my question is that in TpsiC loop why T is presnt.BEfore giving any answer please know the stucture of tRNA
hello,
i am sorry to say that you have to check the three dimensional structure of tRNA and then tell me .
The cloverleaf model of tRNA shows that tRNA contains three non-base-paired loops: D, anticodon, and TpsiC loop
my question is that in TpsiC loop why T is presnt.BEfore giving any answer please know the stucture of tRNA
hello
YOU have to know that tRNA is the only RNA which contains Thymine.
The T arm is a 5 bp stem containing the sequence TΨC where Ψ is a pseudouridine and T is Thymine. ok and my question is on this T.
hello
you should know sir that tRNA is the only RNA which contains Thymine.
The cloverleaf model clearly shows that tRNA contains three non-base-paired loops: D, anticodon, and TpsiC loop. The T arm is a 5 bp stem containing the sequence TΨC where Ψ is a pseudouridine & T is a Thymine.
