    Summary: Although this monograph "Dependency or interdependency in old age" is not the first publication of the European Social Sciences Research Committee (ESSRC) of the International Association of Gerontology, I am happy, as former chairman of the Committee (1964-1975), to introduce this book to the readers, together with the present chairman. So far the activities of the Committee have consisted of cooperating in organizing the scientific programme of the tri-annual congresses of the International Association of Gerontology (lAG), and in organizing smaller or bigger symposia and colloquia for social gerontologists. Sometimes these meetings were mainly organized for European researchers only, sometimes several concurrent colloquia took place in which Americans and other non-Europeans participated. The Committee, the oldest of the lAG, was established at a scientific meeting in 1954 at Sheffield (U.K.) After that year colloquia were held in 1956 near Copenhagen 1 (Denmark), in 1957 at Merano 2 (Italy), in 1959 at Assisi (Italy), in 1960 at Berkeley (Cal.)

    A comparative study of the aminoacylation of the two RNA components of turnip yellow mosaic virus, of yeast tRNAVal, tRNAfMet and of tRNAPhe by purified yeast valyl-tRNA synthetase is reported. Aminoacylations were performed in the presence of pure yeast tRNA nucleotidyltransferase, since 85% of the viral RNA molecules lacked the 3'-adenosine. We find that aminoacylation of the viral RNAs, like tRNA aminoacylation, reflects an equilibrium between the acylation and deacylation reactions. The kinetic parameters of TYM virus RNA valylation resemble the values found for tRNAVal valylation; in particular, there is a strong affinity between the viral RNA and valyl-tRNA synthetase and the rate constant for TYM virus RNA valylation is only slightly lower than that for tRNAVal. This result contrasts with the reduced rates observed in tRNA mischarging, and suggests that the viral RNA could be easily aminoacylated in vivo. Considering the fact that the 3'-terminal sequence of TYM virus RNA has only a few points of resemblance to a tRNA sequence, we propose that there are some structural motifs found in both tRNAVal and TYM virus RNA which are brought in a similar spatial arrangement recognized by valyl-tRNA synthetase.
