In order to create an ochre suppressor tRNA which exclusively recognizes UAA codon, we replaced the G34 at the first position of yeast tRNATyr[GΨA] anticodon with pseudouridine34 (Ψ34) by using the molecular surgery technique. This tRNATyr[ΨΨA] recognized only the UAA codon as expectedly, but tRNATyr[UΨA] made as a control also behaved similarly. This result may suggest that U34 must be somehow modified to facilitate the wobble-pairing to G at the third position of codon.
