Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The anticodon of L. plantarum tRNAIle2(CAU) is modified by TilS. In most eubacteria, the anticodon of tRNAIle2(CAU) is modified by TilS after transcription. The L modification of the anticodon loop is required for recognition by IleRS and for decoding of AUA codon (16).
Detailed explanation-2: -For instance, a messenger RNA codon GCA matches with the transfer RNA with the anticodon CGU, which carries with it the amino acid called alanine.
