Diazotrophy and Nitrogenase Activity in the Archaebacterium Methanosarcina barkeri 227.
Nitrogen fixation (diazotrophy) has recently been demonstrated in several methanogenic archaebacteria. To compare the process in an archaebacterium with that in eubacteria, we examined the properties of diazotrophic growth and nitrogenase activity in Methanosarcina barkeri 227. Growth yields with methanol or acetate as a growth substrate were significantly lower in N(2)-grown cultures than in N...
متن کاملEvolution of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase quaternary structure and activity: Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase.
Phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases [L-phenylalanine:tRNAPhe ligase (AMP-forming), EC 6.1.1.20] from Escherichia coli, yeast cytoplasm, and mammalian cytoplasm have an unusual conserved alpha 2 beta 2 quaternary structure that is shared by only one other aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. Both subunits are required for activity. We show here that a single mitochondrial polypeptide from Saccharomyces cerevisi...
متن کاملMitochondrial phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase mutations underlie fatal infantile Alpers encephalopathy.
Next-generation sequencing has turned out to be a powerful tool to uncover genetic basis of childhood mitochondrial disorders. We utilized whole-exome analysis and discovered novel compound heterozygous mutations in FARS2 (mitochondrial phenylalanyl transfer RNA synthetase), encoding the mitochondrial phenylalanyl transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetase (mtPheRS) in two patients with fatal epileptic mit...
متن کاملEscherichia coli mutants overproducing phenylalanyl- and threonyl-tRNA synthetase.
The structural genes for threonyl-tRNA synthetase (ThrRS) and phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS) are closely linked on the Escherichia coli chromosome. To study whether these enzymes share a common regulatory element, we have investigated their synthesis in mutants which were selected for overproduction of either ThrRS or PheRS. It was found that mutants isolated previously for overproduction...
متن کاملSmall-molecule inhibitors of the tuberculosis target, phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase from Penicillium griseofulvum CPCC-400528
Phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS), a member of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family, was the new target of anti-tubercular drug discovery. In an attempt to fully exploit the new potential anti-tuberculosis drugs presented in micro-organisms, we developed a high-throughput screening assay against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) PheRS and then screened a library consisting of 32,000 strains and 1...
