TL;DR: Effective ribosome binding of tRNAPhe is a combination of anticodon stem stability and the correct architecture and dynamics of the anticodon loop, and 2′O-methylation of guanosine at wobble position 34 (Gm34) is identified as being responsible for the characteristically enhanced chemical reactivity of C1400 in Escherichia coli 16S rRNA upon ribosomal footprinting of yeast t RNAPhe.

By: S. Ashraf n, G. Ansari n, R. Guenther n, E. Sochacka*, A. Malkiewicz* & P. Agris n

author keywords: anticodon conformation; anticodon stem loop analogs; ASL; nucleoside modifications; ribosome; translation; tRNA(Phe) U-turn

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that proton donations by the N3-H and 2'OH groups of U33 are not absolutely required for ribosomal binding, and suggest that the overall uridine conformation, including a dynamic (C3'-endo > C2'-endo) sugar pucker, anti-conformation, and ability of uracil to stack between C32 and A35-phosphate, are the contributing factors to a functional U-turn.
