Functional possibilities for aminoacylation of viral RNA in transcription and translation

T C Hall et al. Ann Microbiol (Paris). 1976 Jan.

Abstract

RNA from at least ten viruses, representing more than four different group, is known to specifically bind in amino acid in a tRNA-like manner. The biological function of aminoacylation of RNA from these viruses and of tRNA association with tumor viruses and bacteriophage, is discussed. Hypothetical schemes are presented for a role for aminoacylation in viral translational and transcriptional mechanisms, and the current evidence relating to these models is presented.
