The glycyl-tRNA synthetase of Chlamydia trachomatis.

چکیده
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases specifically charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. A prototype for the most complex aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases is the four-subunit glycyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli, encoded by two open reading frames. We examined the glycyl-tRNA synthetase gene from Chlamydia trachomatis, a genetically isolated bacterium, and identified only a single open reading frame for the chlamydial homolog (glyQS). This is the first report of a prokaryotic glycyl-tRNA synthetase encoded by a single gene.

Two identical cDNAs encoding human glycyl-tRNA synthetase were isolated from K562 and HEL cell lambda gt11 libraries by screening with "anti-EJ" autoantibodies from a patient with dermatomyositis, previously shown to specifically inhibit this enzyme. The sequenced cDNA had 2,385 base pairs, with a predicted protein of 685 amino acids and M(r) 77,500. The antigen reactive with anti-EJ was immuno...

Glycyl- and alanyl-tRNA synthetases have been purified from an extract of Bombyx mori posterior silk glands by a procedure that allows for the simultaneous isolation of both enzymes. Glycyl-tRNA synthetase is a dimer of Mr = 160,000 consisting of similar or identical subunits, whereas alanyl-tRNA synthetase is a monomer of Mr = 110,000 to 115,000. The abundance of these two enzymes in the poste...
