Crystal structure of human cytosolic aspartyl-tRNA synthetase, a component of multi-tRNA synthetase complex
Human cytosolic aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (DRS) catalyzes the attachment of the amino acid aspartic acid to its cognate tRNA and it is a component of the multi-tRNA synthetase complex (MSC) which has been known to be involved in unexpected signaling pathways. Here, we report the crystal structure of DRS at a resolution of 2.25 Å. DRS is a homodimer with a dimer interface of 3750.5 Å(2) which com...
متن کاملRole of dimerization in yeast aspartyl-tRNA synthetase and importance of the class II invariant proline.
Cytoplasmic aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS; EC 6.1.1.12) from yeast is, as are most class II synthetases, an alpha 2 dimer. The only invariant amino acid in signature motif 1 of this class is Pro-273; this residue is located at the dimer interface. To understand the role of Pro-273 in the conserved dimeric configuration, we tested the effect of a Pro-273-->Gly (P273G) substitution on the catal...
متن کاملCharacterization of a thermosensitive Escherichia coli aspartyl-tRNA synthetase mutant.
The Escherichia coli tls-1 strain carrying a mutated aspS gene (coding for aspartyl-tRNA synthetase), which causes a temperature-sensitive growth phenotype, was cloned by PCR, sequenced, and shown to contain a single mutation resulting in substitution by serine of the highly conserved proline 555, which is located in motif 3. When an aspS fragment spanning the codon for proline 555 was transfor...
متن کاملRelaxed tRNA specificity of the Staphylococcus aureus aspartyl-tRNA synthetase enables RNA-dependent asparagine biosynthesis.
The human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is an asparagine prototroph despite its genome not encoding an asparagine synthetase. S. aureus does use an asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase (AsnRS) to directly ligate asparagine to tRNA(Asn). The S. aureus genome also codes for one aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS). Here we demonstrate the lone S. aureus aspartyl-tRNA synthetase has relaxed tRNA specificity a...
متن کاملCytoplasmic Methionyl - tRNA Synthetase from Bakers ’ Yeast
Methionyl-tRNA synthetase has been purified from a yeast strain carrying the MESl structural gene on a high copy number plasmid (pFL1). The purified enzyme is a monomer of M, = 85,000 in contrast to its counterpart from Escherichia coli which is a dimer made up of identical subunits (M, = 76,000; Dardel, F., Fayat, G., and Blanquet, S . (1984) J. Bucteriol. 160,1115-1122). The yeast enzyme was ...
