It is well established that protein synthesis occurs with high fidelity. This paper describes a sensitive system to analyze the frequency of all possible missense errors by several tRNAs. The only errors that occur with appreciable frequency are observed when codon–anticodon pairing involves noncanonical base-pairing with geometries similar to canonical Watson–Crick base pairs. Protein synthesis must rapidly and repeatedly discriminate between a single correct and many incorrect aminoacyl-tRNAs. We have attempted to measure the frequencies of all possible missense errors by tRNA, tRNA and tRNA. The most frequent errors involve three types of mismatched nucleotide pairs, U•U, U•C, or U•G, all of which can form a noncanonical base pair with geometry similar to that of the canonical U•A or C•G Watson–Crick pairs. Our system is sensitive enough to measure errors at other potential mismatches that occur at frequencies as low as 1 in 500,000 codons. The ribosome appears to discriminate this efficiently against any pair with non-Watson–Crick geometry. This extreme accuracy may be necessary to allow discrimination against the errors involving near Watson–Crick pairing.
