چکیده

The leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity from cotyledons of 4-day-old soybean seedlings has been fractionated into three components. One of these exclusively acylates two of the six tRNA(Leu) species present in this tissue. The remaining two enzyme fractions charge the other four tRNA(Leu) species equally well. Soybean hypocotyls appear to contain only the last two enzyme fractions.

Leucyl transfer RNA synthetase changes during soybean cotyledon senescence.

Previous work has shown the complement of leucyl transfer RNA (tRNA(Leu)) isoaccepting species present in soybean cotyledons to change during cotyledon senescence. Of the six tRNA(Leu) species resolved by Freon-column chromatography, the capacity of species 1-4 to accept leucine is decreased between 5 and 21 days of age. Parallel changes in tRNA(Leu) synthetase activity are reported here during...

Isolation and partial characterization of temperature-sensitive Escherichia coli mutants with altered leucyl- and seryl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases.

Two temperature-sensitive mutants of Escherichia coli have been found in which the conditional growth is a result of a thermosensitive leucyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase and seryl-tRNA synthetase, respectively. The corresponding genetic loci, leuS and serS, cotransduce with lip and serC, respectively. As a result of the mutationally altered leucyl-tRNA synthetase, some leucine-,...

Purification and properties of chloroplast leucyl-tRNA synthetase from a higher plant: Phaseolus vulgaris.

The chloroplast leucyl-tRNA synthetase from Phaseolus vulgaris was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, hydroxylapatite, and phosphocellulose. Finally, the pure enzyme was obtained after affinity chromatography on Blue Sepharose CL-6B using specific elution with a pure Escherichia coli tRNALeu isoacceptor. The specific activity of chloroplast leucyl-t...

Effect of Polyscias filicifolia Bailey tincture on tRNALeu and leucyl-tRNA synthetase activity in isolated pig heart

2 Institute for Biomedical Research, Kaunas University of Medicine, Kaunas, Lithuania The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Polyscias filicifolia Bailey tincture on the activity of tRNA specific for leucine (tRNALeu) and leucyl-tRNA synthetase under anoxia in isolated pig heart. Polyscias filicifolia Bailey tincture did not affect the acceptor activity of tRNALeu from a ...

Peptide mapping of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases: evidence for internal sequence homology in Escherichia coli leucyl-tRNA synthetase.

Most aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases contain polypeptide chains of about either 50,000 or 100,000 daltons. Peptide mapping of tryptic, chymotryptic, or Staphylococcus aureus acid protease digests of seryl-tRNA synthetase (100,000, dimer) and leucyl-tRNA synthetase (100,000, monomer) from E. coli was done after selective modification of lysine residues with [(14)C]succinic anhydride or of methionine ...
