The structure of the tRNA-like 3'' terminus of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) RNA was studied. A 3''-terminal fragment processing the tRNA-like properties was probed with chemical modification and enzymatic digestions. A model of the secondary structure is proposed for the last 105 nucleotides. The corresponding region of other tobamoviral RNA can be folded in an identical secondary structure. A 3-dimensional model for the tRNA-like structure is given which is compared with those proposed earlier for the tRNA-like 3'' termini of turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) RNA and brome mosaic (BMV) RNA. A new building principle which was discovered previously by studying the latter RNA appears to be applied twice in the tRNA-like structure of TMV RNA. The determination of the minimal length requirement for recognition of CTP, ATP:tRNA nucleotidyltransferase reveals a size of .apprx. 100 nucleotides in agreement with the models proposed.
