Abstract
Endonuclease from Neurospora crassa (NcNase), an enzyme with specificity for polynucleotides lacking an ordered structure, was shown to cleave sut su+3 tRNATyr from E. coli preferentially in the anticodon region. The enzyme cleaved unfractionated tRNA primarily to 30 - 50 nucleotide size fragments, implying that most or all tRNA species are also cleaveH in the anticodon region. The 3′ terminal sequence C-A was cleaved as well. The results are discussed with respect to the three dimensional structure of tRNA.
