The Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus halodurans Aspartyl-tRNA Synthetases Retain Recognition of tRNA(Asn).
Synthesis of asparaginyl-tRNA (Asn-tRNA(Asn)) in bacteria can be formed either by directly ligating Asn to tRNA(Asn) using an asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase (AsnRS) or by synthesizing Asn on the tRNA. In the latter two-step indirect pathway, a non-discriminating aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (ND-AspRS) attaches Asp to tRNA(Asn) and the amidotransferase GatCAB transamidates the Asp to Asn on the tRNA. G...
متن کاملContext-dependent anticodon recognition by class I lysyl-tRNA synthetases.
Lysyl-tRNA synthesis is catalyzed by two unrelated families of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. In most bacteria and all eukarya, the known lysyl-tRNA synthetases (LysRSs) are subclass IIb-type aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, whereas many archaea and a scattering of bacteria contain an unrelated class I-type LysRS. Examination of the recognition of partially modified tRNA(Lys) anticodon variants by a ba...
متن کاملAspartyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli: cloning and characterisation of the gene, homologies of its translated amino acid sequence with asparaginyl- and lysyl-tRNA synthetases.
By screening of an Escherichia coli plasmidic library using antibodies against aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS) several clones were obtained containing aspS, the gene coding for AspRS. We report here the nucleotide sequence of aspS and the corresponding primary structure of the aspartyl-tRNA synthetase, a protein of 590 amino acid residues with a Mr 65,913, a value in close agreement with that ...
متن کاملHomology of yeast mitochondrial leucyl-tRNA synthetase and isoleucyl- and methionyl-tRNA synthetases of Escherichia coli.
Respiratory deficient mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae previously assigned to complementation group G59 are pleiotropically deficient in respiratory chain components and in mitochondrial ATPase. This phenotype has been shown to be a consequence of mutations in a nuclear gene coding for mitochondrial leucyl-tRNA synthetase. The structural gene (MSL1) coding for the mitochondrial enzyme has be...
متن کاملEssentiality Assessment of Cysteinyl and Lysyl-tRNA Synthetases of Mycobacterium smegmatis
Discovery of mupirocin, an antibiotic that targets isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, established aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase as an attractive target for the discovery of novel antibacterial agents. Despite a high degree of similarity between the bacterial and human aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, the selectivity observed with mupirocin triggered the possibility of targeting other aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases ...
