Defined di- and tripeptides were tested as acceptors in the reaction catalyzed by leucyl, phenylalanyl-tRNA-protein transferase. Criteria for acceptance were ability to inhibit the αs1-casein-dependent enzymatic transfer of14C-amino acid from tRNA to protein and the presence in reaction mixtures of a specific peptide-dependent radioactive product. Among peptides comprising 19 different NH2-terminal residues, only those with arginine, lysine and, to a lesser extent, histidine fulfilled these criteria. Results were similar using phenylalanyl or leucyl-tRNA. Inhibition was found to be competitive with αs1-casein. When Lys-Ala-Ala was used as acceptor for phenylalanine, the product was isolated and identified as Phe-Lys-Ala-Ala.All peptides containing an NH2-terminall-arginine orl-lysine residue were found to function as acceptors; however,d-Arg-d-Val was inactive. In each series a considerable variation inKivalues was observed, suggesting that in addition to an absolute requirement for an NH2-terminal basic amino acid, acceptor substrate specificity in this reaction is also influenced by other residues.
