説明

Abstract 1. The effect of monovalent cations on aminoacyl-tRNA formation in the absence of added Mg2+ has been studied. 2. In valyl-tRNA formation, all monovalent cations studied (NH+4 Li+, Na+ and K+) are stimulatory, with NH+4 and Li+ being the most effective. An optimum concentration of monovalent cations is between 100 and 200 mM. 3. In leucyl-tRNA formation, NH+4, Li+ or K+ stimulates the reaction significantly. Not only the yield of leucyl-tRNA, but also the rate of the reaction is almost the same as those observed in the presence of an optimal amount of Mg2+. 4. In isoleucyl-tRNA formation, only NH+4 is stimulatory. 5. A synergistic effect of Mg2+ and some monovalent cations is observed in valyl-, isolecyul- and phenylalanyl-tRNA formation. 6. In the presence of NH+4, K+ or Na+, PPi-ATP exchange and amino acid hydroxamate formation are not observed, while they do occur in the presence of Li+. 7. It is assumed that in some aminoacyl-tRNA formations certain monovalent cations can replace Mg2+ either completely or partially.
