HISTIDYL-TRNA SYNTHETASE
Overview
The crystal structure at 2.6 A of the histidyl-tRNA synthetase from, Escherichia coli complexed with histidyl-adenylate has been determined., The enzyme is a homodimer with a molecular weight of 94 kDa and belongs to, the class II of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS). The asymmetric unit is, composed of two homodimers. Each monomer consists of two domains. The, N-terminal catalytic core domain contains a six-stranded antiparallel, beta-sheet sitting on two alpha-helices, which can be superposed with the, catalytic domains of yeast AspRS, and GlyRS and SerRS from Thermus, thermophilus with a root-mean-square difference on the C alpha atoms of, 1.7-1.9 A. The active sites of all four monomers are occupied by, histidyl-adenylate, which apparently forms during crystallization. The 100, ... [(full description)]
