Using a protein synthesizing in vitro system programmed with MS2-RNA, the ability of alanine tRNAs with the anticodons U*GC (U* represents 5-oxyacetic acid uridine monophosphate) and IGC to read the alanine codons in the coat protein cistron of MS2 has been determined both under conditions of no competition, where the alanyl-tRNA used was the only aminoacylated tRNAAla present in the system, and in experiments where the two alanyl-tRNAs were competing against each other. Under conditions of no competition, each of the anticodons can read all four alanine codons. However, when the anticodons compete for the codon GCC, the anticodon IGC, which can read all three positions of the codon according to the rules of Watson-Crick base pairing, is considerably more efficient than U*GC, which misreads the codon by reading only the first two positions and presumably disregards the third nucleotide of the codon. The outcome of the competition experiments also reveals two apparent violations of the wobble restrictions: the anticodon U*GC reads the codon GUU almost as effectively as does the anticodon IGC, and IGC is almost as effective as U*GC in reading the codon GCG.
