The role of divalent cations in the reactions of valyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase of Escherichia coli. Effects of spermine and ethylenediaminetetraacetate.

چکیده
We have analyzed the function of spermine in the aminoacylation of tRNA-Val by the valyl-tRNA synthetase of Escherichia coli. Our results indicate that Mg2+ is required for the aminoacylation reaction as well as for the ATP-PP-i exchange catalyzed by this enzyme. The apparent stimulation by spermine is a function of the tRNA used, which appears to contain bound cations even after dialysis against 10 minus 4 M EDTA. Higher concentrations of EDTA totally abolish spermine-stimulated esterification of tRNA-Val.

متن کاملThe effect of transfer ribonucleic acid on virally modified valyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase of Escherichia coli.
The valyl transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase (EC 6.1.1.9) of Escherichia co2i and the modified form of the enzyme that appears after T4 bacteriophage infection were analyzed by sucrose density gradient electrophoresis. Work with cellfree extracts and purified enzymes indicates that tRNA from E. coli B specifically accelerates the electrophoretic mobility of bacteriophage-modified valyl-tRNA s...
متن کاملTransfer Ribonucleic Acid Synthetase in Escherichia colil
The valyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase of Escherichia coli strain NP2907, previously described as having an elevated Km for adenosine triphosphate and reduced stability in vitro compared to the wild type, was found to be conditionally thermolabile in vivo. The rate of inactivation of this enzyme at a particular temperature appears to be coordinated with the rate of growth; at 40 ...
متن کاملStimulation of ribonucleic acid synthesis by chloramphenicol in a rel + aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase mutant of Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli strain 9D3 possesses a highly temperature-sensitive valyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase (EC 6.1.1.9). Since 9D3 is a rel(+) strain, it cannot carry out net RNA synthesis at high temperature. A 100-mug amount of chloramphenicol (CAP) per ml added in the absence of valine cannot stimulate RNA synthesis. Either 300 mug of CAP or 100 mug of CAP plus 50 mug of valine p...

Regulation of isoleucine, valine, and leucine biosynthesis and isoleucyl-, valyl-, and leucyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase formation was examined in two mutant strains of Escherichia coli. One mutant was selected for growth resistance to the isoleucine analogue, ketomycin, and the other was selected for growth resistance to both trifluoroleucine and valine. Control of the synthes...
