The transfer of arginine from tRNA to the amino terminal region of acceptor proteins has been demonstrated in postribosomal supernatant from guinea-pig hair follicle homogenate. The reaction has no requirement for template nucleic acids, ATP, GTP, or Mg++, and is unaffected by high concentrations of cycloheximide. It is concluded that the arginine transfer activity of the guinea-pig hair follicle is due to the action of a soluble enzyme similar to the arginine transferases previously described for other mammalian tissues
