Résumé : Proflavine (3,6-diaminoacridine) reduces the amount of isoleucine which can be enzymically bound to tRNA in vitro. The activation of isoleucine by isoleucyl-sRNA synthetase (l-isoleucine: sRNA ligase (AMP), EC 6.1.1.5), as measured by ATP-pyrophosphate exchange in the absence of sRNA, is not affected by the compound. Evidence for the strong binding of proflavine to sRNA is presented, and some characteristics of the RNA-proflavine complex are described. The binding of proflavine to tRNA may explain the reduction of isoleucyl-sRNA formation. © 1966.
