Substitution of the conserved uridine-33 does not alter the rate of aminoacylation.

The ochre and amber suppressor tRNA('Tyr)s both showed about a 7-fold reduction in Vmax/Km. Data from tRNA('Tyr) with different modified nucleotides at position 35 suggest that specific hydrogen bonds form between the synthetase and both the N1 and N3 hydrogens of (PSI)-35. The effect of simultaneous substitutions at position 34 and 35 can be predicted reasonably well by combining the effects of single substitutions.
