Genetic data indicate that tryptophan is inserted during suppression of the UGA nonsense codon by theEscherichia colistrain, CAJ64. The nucleotide sequences of tryptophan transfer RNA's from CAJ64 and the related wild-type strain, CA244, are identical except at position 24 in the stem of the dihydrouracil loop. CA244 tRNATrphas G at this position; CAJ64 tRNATrphas A. The anticodons are CCA, expected for recognition of the tryptophan codon, UGG, alone. Tryptophan tRNA from several relatedsu−strains denatures upon isolation, whereas that from suppressor strains is stable. An independently isolated UGA suppressor strain has tRNATrpidentical to CAJ64. It is concluded that UGA suppression is carried out by a tRNATrpwhose anticodon-codon recognition is altered by a change elsewhere in the molecule.
