DNA sequence of the transfer RNA region of bacteriophage T4: implications for transfer RNA synthesis.

Abstract
Sequences encoding 8 tRNA and 2 stable RNA of bacteriophage T4 are grouped together on the T4 genome in 2 g clusters, separated by .apprx. 500 base pairs. The DNA sequence of part of this region was determined. Within each cluster coding sequences are separated by only 1 or a few base pairs. The RNA may be processed from a single multimeric transcript, with initial endonucleolytic cleavages generating the previously characterized monomeric and dimeric precursors.
