HISTIDYL-TRNA SYNTHETASE COMPLEXED WITH HISTIDINOL AND ATP
Overview
The crystal structure of an enzyme-substrate complex with histidyl-tRNA, synthetase from Escherichia coli, ATP, and the amino acid analog, histidinol is described and compared with the previously obtained, enzyme-product complex with histidyl-adenylate. An active site arginine, Arg-259, unique to all histidyl-tRNA synthetases, plays the role of the, catalytic magnesium ion seen in seryl-tRNA synthetase. When Arg-259 is, substituted with histidine, the apparent second order rate constant, (kcat/Km) for the pyrophosphate exchange reaction and the aminoacylation, reaction decreases 1,000-fold and 500-fold, respectively. Crystals soaked, with MnCl2 reveal the existence of two metal binding sites between beta-, and gamma-phosphates; these sites appear to stabilize the conformation of, the ... [(full description)]
