Glutamyl-tRNA synthetase from Thermus thermophilus in complex with tRNA(Glu) and an enzyme inhibitor, Glu-AMS

Overview

Glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS) is one of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, that require the cognate tRNA for specific amino acid recognition and, activation. We analyzed the role of tRNA in amino acid recognition by, crystallography. In the GluRS*tRNA(Glu)*Glu structure, GluRS and tRNA(Glu), collaborate to form a highly complementary L-glutamate-binding site. This, collaborative site is functional, as it is formed in the same manner in, pretransition-state mimic, GluRS*tRNA(Glu)*ATP*Eol (a glutamate analog), and posttransition-state mimic, GluRS*tRNA(Glu)*ESA (a glutamyl-adenylate, analog) structures. In contrast, in the GluRS*Glu structure, only GluRS, forms the amino acid-binding site, which is defective and accounts for the, binding of incorrect amino acids, such as D-glutamate and L-glutamine., Therefore, tRNA(Glu) is essential for formation of the completely, functional binding site for L-glutamate. These structures, together with, our previously described structures, reveal that tRNA plays a crucial role, in accurate positioning of both L-glutamate and ATP, thus driving the, amino acid activation.
