The primary structures of nine Halobacterium cutirubrum tRNAs are presented. These tRNAs are compared with other archaebacterial tRNAs and in particular with their H. volcanii counterparts. Striking similarities are observed among isoacceptor tRNA species; observed differences between a given tRNA pair of the two halophiles having the same anticodon vary from 0 to 14 nucleotides. Particular features including modified nucleotides of each of the nine tRNAs are indicated.
