Peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase is an enzyme which hydrolyses the ester bond between a peptide or a N-blocked aminoacyl residue and the 2’or 3’OH group of the terminal ribose of tRNA [l]. The specificity of the enzyme isolated from E. coli has been studied in some detail. The enzyme does not hydrolyze methyl or ethyl esters of peptides [2], 2’or 3’adenosyl esters of peptides or unblocked aminoacyl-t RNA [3]. The enzyme is not specific for a certain tRNA since it is capable of hydrolysing all the N-blocked aminoacyl-tRNA’s tested [4] and attacks peptidyl-tRNA’s such as (Gly)*-phetRNAE. coli and (Gly),-phe-tRNAYeaSt with the same efficiency [6]. There seems to be only one exception as Lapidot et al.[S] found, that the enzyme does not attack (or attacks only very slightly) peptide esters of the E. coli initiator tRNA, such as (Gly),-mettRNAFefRecently, tRNA’s modified in the 3’-terminal adenosine or in the penultimate cytidine nucleotides have been investigated; some of these tRNA’s can be aminoacylated. One of these can be prepared by oxidizing the 3’-terminal ribose with periodate and reduction of the dialdehyde with sodium borhydride to tRNA-CCA,,,,,[7]. Other derivatives can be prepared by incorporating ATP analogues to tRNA-CC or CTP analogues and ATP to tRNA-C with the tRNA-nucleotidyl transferase. In this work we describe the action of a purified E. coli peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase on several peptidyl-tRNA’s prepared from these
