The nucleotide sequence of and from Drosophila melanogaster

Abstract

The nucleotide sequences of two valine tRNA's of Drosophila melanogaster are the following: tRNA[Formula: see text], pGGUUmCCAUAGUGψAGCGGDU*AUCACG(m2G)ψCUGCψUU*ACACGCAGAAGm7GDC(m5C)UCCGGTψCGm1AUCCCGGAUGGAACCACCA; [Formula: see text], pGUUUCCGUAGUGψAGCGGDacp3UAUCACGψGUGCUUCACACGCACAAGm7GDC(m5C)CCCGGTψCGm1AACCCGGGCGGGAACACCA. [Formula: see text] shows greater similarity to prokaryotic and eukaryotic organelle tRNAVal,s than does [Formula: see text].
