RESUMO
The specificity of the interaction between phosphoribosyltransferase and partially purified preparations of various species of transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) was investigated with the use of a filter binding assay. The enzyme showed a higher affinity for histidyl-tRNA than for arginyl- or glutamyl-tRNA. Competition experiments revealed that the enzyme does not distinguish between the aminoacylated and deacylated forms of arginine tRNA or glutamic acid tRNA, since all the binding of the aminoacylated tRNA could be inhibited by deacylated tRNA. The enzyme does, however, distinguish between the aminoacylated and deacylated forms of histidine tRNA. Approximately 70% of the binding of aminoacylated histidine tRNA is specific, since only 30% of the binding could be inhibited by deacylated tRNA. The possibility that the regulatory role of phosphoribosyltransferase is carried out as a complex with histidyl-tRNA is consistent with these data.
