title: Cloning and DNA sequence of the genes for two bacteriophage T5 tRNAsSer.
abstract: Bacteriophage T5 Bg/II/Hind III DNA fragment (803 basepairs), containing the genes for 2 tRNAs and 2 RNAs with unknown functions, was cloned in the plasmid pBR322. The analysis of DNA sequence indicates that tRNA genes code isoacceptor tRNAsSer (tRNA1Ser and tRNA2Ser) with anticodons UGA and GGA, respectively. The main unusual structural feature of these tRNAs is the presence of extra non-basepaired nucleotides in the joinings of stem 'b' with stems 'a' and 'c'.
