| - | The C-terminal domain of methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS-C) from Nanoarchaeum equitans is homologous to a tRNA-binding protein consisting of 111 amino acids (Trbp111) from Aquifex aeolicus. The crystal structure of MetRS-C showed that it existed as a homodimer, and that each monomer possessed an oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding fold (OB-fold). Analysis using a quartz crystal microbalance indicated that MetRS-C freshly isolated from N. equitans was bound to tRNA. However, binding of the split 3'-half tRNA species was stronger than that of the 5'-half species. The T-loop and the 3'-end regions of the split 3'-half tRNA were found to be responsible for the binding. The minimum structure for binding to MetRS-C might be a minihelix-like stem-loop with single-stranded 3'-terminus. After successive duplications of such a small hairpin structure with the assistance of a Trbp-like structure, the interaction of the T-loop region of the 3'-half with a Trbp-like structure could have been evolutionarily replaced by RNA-RNA interactions, along with many combinational tertiary interactions, to form the modern tRNA structure. | ||
