Comparative structural and functional results on the valine and tyrosine accepting tRNA-like molecules from turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) and brome mosaic virus (BMV), and the corresponding cognate yeast tRNAs are presented. Novel experiments on TYMV RNA include design of variant genes of the tRNA-like domain and their transcription in vitro by T7 RNA polymerase, analysis of their valylation catalyzed by yeast valyl-tRNA synthetase, and structural mapping with dimethyl sulfate and carbodiimide combined with graphical modelling. Particular emphasis is given to conformational effects affecting the valylation capacity of the TYMV tRNA-like molecule (e.g., the effect of the U43----C43 mutation). The contacts of the TYMV and BMV RNAs with valyl- and tyrosyl-tRNA synthetases are compared with the positions in the molecules affecting their aminoacylation capacities. Finally, the involvement of the putative valine and tyrosine anticodons in the tRNA-like valylation and tyrosylation reactions is discussed. While an anticodon-like sequence participates in the valine identity of TYMV RNA, this seems not to be the case for the tyrosine identity of BMV RNA despite the fact that the tyrosine anticodon has been shown to be involved in the tyrosylation of canonical tRNA.
