title: The nucleotide sequence of cysteine transfer ribonucleic acid from baker's yeast. Products of complete digestion with pancreatic ribonuclease and ribonuclease T1.
abstract: 1. The nucleotide chain of tRNA Cys from baker's yeast was readily split at the anticolon into two large fragments by brief treatment with ribonuclease T1.2. The whole molecule and the two derived large fragments were completely digested with (a) pancreatic ribonuclease and (b) ribonuclease T1. The fragments present in each of the digests were separated and sequenced by conventional methods. 3. The groups of fragments derived from the two methods of digestion were entirely compatible with each other. 4. The molecule is 75 nucleotides long, but, as isolated, lacks the terminal adenosine and the neighboring cytidylic acid residue. The minor nucleotides 1-methyladenylic acid, 7-methylguanylic acid, 5-methylcytidylic acid and N6 (gamma gamma-dimethylallyl)adenylic acid (isopentenyladenylic acid) were identified.
