Abstract

The sequence of three tRNAs from Halobacterium cutirubrum have been determined. The sequences of tRNA_GAC^Val and tRNA_GAC^Val differ by only one nucleotide which is in the 5' terminal anticodon position. These tRNAs as well as that of tRNA_CGC^Ala are compared to other known halobacterial tRNAs. An observed paucity (or absence) of U in the first anticodon position is unique to archaebacterial tRNAs and may be indicative of unusual decoding properties of these organisms.
