The use of19F nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy as a probe of anticodon structure has been extended by investigating the effects of tetranucleotide binding to 5-fluorouracil-substitutedEscherichia colitRNA1Val(anticodon FAC).19F n.m.r. spectra were obtained in the absence and presence of different concentrations of oligonucleotides having the sequence GpUpApX (X = A, G, C, U), which contain the valine codon GpUpA. Structural changes in the tRNA were monitoredviathe 5-fluorouracil residues located at positions 33 and 34 in the anticodon loop, as well as in all other loops and stems of the molecule. Binding of GpUpApA, which is complementary to the anticodon and the 5′-adjacent FUra 33, shifts two resonances in the19F spectrum. One, peak H (3.90 p.p.m.), is also shifted by GpUpA and was previously assigned to FUra 34 at the wobble position of the anticodon. The effects of GpUpApA differ from those of GpUpA in that the tetranucleotide induces the downfield shift of a second resonance, peak F (4.5 p.p.m.), in the19F spectrum of19F-labeled tRNA1Val. Evidence that the codon-containing oligonucleotides bind to the anticodon was obtained from shifts in the methyl proton spectrum of the 6-methyladenosine residue adjacent to the anticodon and from cleavage of the tRNA at the anticodon by RNase H after binding dGpTpApA, a deoxy analog of the ribonucleotide codon. The association constant for the binding of GpUpApA to fluorinated tRNA1Val, obtained by Scatchard analysis of the n.m.r. results, is in good agreement with values obtained by other methods. On the basis of these results, we assign peak F in the19F n.m.r. spectrum of19F-labeled tRNA1Valto FUra 33. This assignment and the previous assignment of peak H to FUra 34 are supported by the observation that the intensities of peaks F and H in the19F spectrum of fluorinated tRNA1Valare specifically decreased after partial hydrolysis with nuclease S1under conditions leading to cleavage in the anticodon loop. The downfield shift of peak F occurs only with adenosine in the 3′-position of the tetranucleotide; binding of GpUpApG, GpUpApC, or GpUpApU results only in the upfield shift of peak H. The possibility is discussed that this base-specific interaction between the 3′-terminal adenosine and the 5-fluorouracil residue at position 33 involves a 5′-stacked conformation of the anticodon loop. Evidence also is presented for a temperature-dependent conformational change in the anticodon loop below the melting temperature of the tRNA.
