The Origin of tRNA Deduced from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 5' Anticodon-Stem Sequence : Anticodon-stem loop hypothesis.
The riddle of the origin of life is unsolved as yet. One of the best ways to solve the riddle would be to find a vestige of the first life from databases of DNA and/or protein of modern organisms. It would be, especially, important to know the origin of tRNA, because it mediates between genetic information and the amino acid sequence of a protein. Here I attempt to find a vestige of the origin and evolution of tRNA from base sequences of Pseudomonas aeruginosa tRNA gene. It was first perceived that 5' anticodon (AntiC) stem sequences of P. aeruginosa tRNA for translation of G-start codon (GNN) are intimately and mutually related. Then, mutual relations among all of the forty-two 5' AntiC stem sequences of P. aeruginosa tRNA were examined. These relationships imply that P. aeruginosa tRNA originated from four anticodon stem-loops (AntiC-SL) translating GNC codons to the corresponding four amino acids, Gly, Ala, Asp and Val (where N is G, C, A, or T). In contrast to the case of AntiC-stem sequence, a mutual relation map could not be drawn with D-, T- and acceptor-stem sequences of P. aeruginosa tRNA. Thus I conclude that the four AntiC-SLs were the first primeval tRNAs.
期刊介绍:
The subject of the origin and early evolution of life is an inseparable part of the general discipline of Astrobiology. The journal Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres places special importance on the interconnection as well as the interdisciplinary nature of these fields, as is reflected in its subject coverage. While any scientific study which contributes to our understanding of the origins, evolution and distribution of life in the Universe is suitable for inclusion in the journal, some examples of important areas of interest are: prebiotic chemistry and the nature of Earth''s early environment, self-replicating and self-organizing systems, the theory of the RNA world and of other possible precursor systems, and the problem of the origin of the genetic code. Early evolution of life - as revealed by such techniques as the elucidation of biochemical pathways, molecular phylogeny, the study of Precambrian sediments and fossils and of major innovations in microbial evolution - forms a second focus. As a larger and more general context for these areas, Astrobiology refers to the origin and evolution of life in a cosmic setting, and includes interstellar chemistry, planetary atmospheres and habitable zones, the organic chemistry of comets, meteorites, asteroids and other small bodies, biological adaptation to extreme environments, life detection and related areas. Experimental papers, theoretical articles and authorative literature reviews are all appropriate forms for submission to the journal. In the coming years, Astrobiology will play an even greater role in defining the journal''s coverage and keeping Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres well-placed in this growing interdisciplinary field.
