CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE EMAP2/RNA BINDING DOMAIN OF THE P43 PROTEIN FROM HUMAN AMINOACYL-TRNA SYNTHETASE COMPLEX
Overview
The EMAPII (endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide II) domain is a, tRNA-binding domain associated with several aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, which becomes an independent domain with inflammatory cytokine activity, upon apoptotic cleavage from the p43 component of the multisynthetase, complex. It comprises a domain that is highly homologous to bacterial, tRNA-binding proteins (Trbp), followed by an extra domain without homology, to known proteins. Trbps, which may represent ancient tRNA chaperones, form dimers and bind one tRNA per dimer. In contrast, EMAPII domains are, monomers. Here we report the crystal structure at 1.14 Angstroms of human, EMAPII. The structure reveals that the Trbp-like domain, which forms an, oligonucleotide-binding (OB) fold, is related by degenerate 2-fold, ... [(full description)]
