Proofreading and the evolution of a methyl donor function. Cyclization of methionine to S-methyl homocysteine thiolactone by Escherichia coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase.
A cyclic sulfonium compound, S-methyl homocysteine thiolactone (SMHT), is formed from methionine during in vitro tRNA aminoacylation catalyzed by Escherichia coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase. The mechanism of SMHT formation involves enzymatic deacylation of Met-tRNA (k = 0.06 s-1) and, to a lesser extent, Met-AMP (k = 0.02 s-1). Cyclization of methionine, reminiscent of cyclization of homocystein...
متن کاملProofreading in vivo: editing of homocysteine by methionyl-tRNA synthetase in Escherichia coli.
Previous in vitro studies have established a pre-transfer proofreading mechanism for editing of homocysteine by bacterial methionyl-, isoleucyl-, and valyl-tRNA synthetases. The unusual feature of the editing is the formation of a distinct compound, homocysteine thiolactone. Now, two-dimensional TLC analysis of 35S-labeled amino acids extracted from cultures of the bacterium Escherichia coli re...
متن کاملEditing function of Escherichia coli cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase: cyclization of cysteine to cysteine thiolactone.
A cyclic sulfur compound, identified as cysteine thiolactone by several chemical and enzymatic tests, is formed from cysteine during in vitro tRNA(Cys) aminoacylation catalyzed by Escherichia coli cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase. The mechanism of cysteine thiolactone formation involves enzymatic deacylation of Cys-tRNA(Cys) (k = 0.017 s-1) in which nucleophilic sulfur of the side chain of cysteine in...
متن کاملHomology of yeast mitochondrial leucyl-tRNA synthetase and isoleucyl- and methionyl-tRNA synthetases of Escherichia coli.
Respiratory deficient mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae previously assigned to complementation group G59 are pleiotropically deficient in respiratory chain components and in mitochondrial ATPase. This phenotype has been shown to be a consequence of mutations in a nuclear gene coding for mitochondrial leucyl-tRNA synthetase. The structural gene (MSL1) coding for the mitochondrial enzyme has be...
