Photoaffinity labelling of tRNA (adenine-1-)-methyltransferase with an E. coli tRNA(Phe) derivative bearing 4-azidophenylmercuro group attached to s4U residue as well as direct photocross-linking of the native tRNA(Phe) with the enzyme via s4U residue has been studied. Both techniques labelling gave similar results, leading to covalent attachment of tRNA(Phe) to the enzyme within a specific complex. The data obtained indicate unambigously that s4U residue contacts with tRNA (adenine-1-)-methyltransferase within the corresponding specific complex.
