Structure and dynamics of the anticodon arm binding domain of Bacillus stearothermophilus Tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase.

چکیده
The structure of a recombinant protein, TyrRS(delta4), corresponding to the anticodon arm binding domain of Bacillus stearothermophilus tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, has been solved, and its dynamics have been studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). It is the first structure described for such a domain of a tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase. It consists of a five-stranded beta sheet, packed against two alpha helices on one side and one alpha helix on the other side. A large part of the domain is structurally similar to other functionally unrelated RNA binding proteins. The basic residues known to be essential for tRNA binding and charging are exposed to the solvent on the same face of the molecule. The structure of TyrRS(delta4), together with previous mutagenesis data, allows one to delineate the region of interaction with tRNATyr.

Human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase shares amino acid sequence homology with a putative cytokine.
To test the hypothesis that tRNATyr recognition differs between bacterial and human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetases, we sequenced several clones identified as human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase cDNAs by the Human Genome Project. We found that human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase is composed of three domains: 1) an amino-terminal Rossmann fold domain that is responsible for formation of the activated E.Tyr-AMP int...
متن کاملThe isolation of a peptide from the catalytic domain of Bacillus stearothermophilus tryptophyl-tRNA synthetase. The interaction of Brown MX-5BR with tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase.
Tryptophyl-tRNA synthetase is irreversibly inactivated by Procion Brown MX-5BR with an apparent dissociation constant (KD) of 8.8 microM and maximum rate of inactivation k3 0.192 s-1. The specificity of the interaction is supported by two previously reported observations. Firstly, Brown MX-5BR inactivation of tryptophyl-tRNA synthetase is inhibited by substrates, and secondly, the animated deri...
متن کاملTyrosyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli. Stoichiometry of ligand binding and half-of-the-sites reactivity in aminoacylation.
The tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli binds only 1 mol of tRNA, tyrosine, and tyrosyl adenylate per mol of enzyme dimer. However, like the enzyme from Bacillus stearothermophilus, once one active site is occupied by tyrosyl adenylate the other becomes accessible to bind a further molecule each of tyrosine and ATP. Both bacterial enzymes show biphasic kinetics with respect to tyrosin...
متن کاملBacterial Two-Hybrid Study of Protein Subdomain Interactions 73 Protein-Protein Interaction Between Bacillus stearothermophilus Tyrosyl-tRNA Synthetase Subdomains Revealed by a Bacterial Two-Hybrid System
We have recently developed a bacterial two-hybrid system (BACTH), based on functional complementation between two fragments of the catalytic domain of Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase (AC), that allows an easy in vivo screening and selection of functional interactions between two proteins in Escherichia coli. In this work, we have further explored the potentialities of the BACTH system to...
متن کاملMethionyl-tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus: structural and functional identities with the Escherichia coli enzyme
The metS gene encoding homodimeric methionyl-tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus has been cloned and a 2880 base pair sequence solved. Comparison of the deduced enzyme protomer sequence (Mr 74,355) with that of the E. coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase protomer (Mr 76,124) revealed a relatively low level (32%) of identities, although both enzymes have very similar biochemical propertie...
