LEUCYL-TRNA SYNTHETASE FROM THERMUS THERMOPHILUS COMPLEXED WITH A SULPHAMOYL ANALOGUE OF LEUCYL-ADENYLATE
Overview
Leucyl-, isoleucyl- and valyl-tRNA synthetases are closely related large, monomeric class I synthetases. Each contains a homologous insertion domain, of approximately 200 residues, which is thought to permit them to, hydrolyse ('edit') cognate tRNA that has been mischarged with a chemically, similar but non-cognate amino acid. We describe the first crystal, structure of a leucyl-tRNA synthetase, from the hyperthermophile Thermus, thermophilus, at 2.0 A resolution. The overall architecture is similar to, that of isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, except that the putative editing domain, is inserted at a different position in the primary structure. This feature, is unique to prokaryote-like leucyl-tRNA synthetases, as is the presence, of a novel additional flexibly inserted domain. Comparison of ... [(full description)]
