Strictly Conserved Lysine of Prolyl-tRNA Synthetase Editing Domain Facilitates Binding and Positioning of Misacylated tRNAPro
To ensure high fidelity in translation, many aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, enzymes responsible for attaching specific amino acids to cognate tRNAs, require proof-reading mechanisms. Most bacterial prolyl-tRNA synthetases (ProRSs) misactivate alanine and employ a post-transfer editing mechanism to hydrolyze Ala-tRNA(Pro). This reaction occurs in a second catalytic site (INS) that is distinct from ...
متن کاملMolecular recognition of proline tRNA by prolyl-tRNA synthetase from hyperthermophilic archaeon, Aeropyrum pernix K1.
To investigate the recognition mechanism of tRNA(Pro) by prolyl-tRNA synthetase from hyperthermophilic archaeon, Aeropyrum pernix K1, various tRNA(Pro) transcripts were prepared by in vitro transcription system. These transcripts were aminoacylated with proline by overexpressed A. pernix prolyl-tRNA synthetase. From prolylation experiments, recognition elements of A. pernix tRNA(Pro) were deter...
متن کاملEvolution of acceptor stem tRNA recognition by class II prolyl-tRNA synthetase
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARS) are an essential family of enzymes that catalyze the attachment of amino acids to specific tRNAs during translation. Previously, we showed that base-specific recognition of the tRNA(Pro) acceptor stem is critical for recognition by Escherichia coli prolyl-tRNA synthetase (ProRS), but not for human ProRS. To further delineate species-specific differences in acce...
متن کاملFunctions of isolated domains of methionyl-tRNA synthetase from an extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus HB8.
Methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS, 2 X 75 kDa) was purified to homogeneity from an extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus HB8. The polypeptide chain of MetRS was cleaved by limited digestion with trypsin into four domains: T1 (29 kDa), T2 (23 kDa), T3 (14.5 kDa), and T4 (7.5 kDa), which were aligned in that order. MetRS was also cleaved into similar fragments with a variety of other proteases...
متن کاملEvolutionary basis for the coupled-domain motions in Thermus thermophilus leucyl-tRNA synthetase.
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are multidomain proteins that catalyze the covalent attachment of amino acids to their cognate transfer RNA. Various domains of an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase perform their specific functions in a highly coordinated manner to maintain high accuracy in protein synthesis in cells. The coordination of their function, therefore, requires communication between domains. In th...
