Application

Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase may be useful in the study of protein synthesis and regulation .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase attaches amino acids to their corresponding tRNA, which is essential for protein synthesis. Both classes of aminoacyl tRNA synthetases are multi-domain proteins .

Other Notes

Mixture of amino acid activating enzymes
EC Ligase sub-class 6.1.1

Quality

Crude

Unit Definition

One unit will activate and attach 1.0 picomole (10-12 mole) of labeled amino acid to tRNA in 10 min at pH 7.6 at 37 °C (amino acid used: L-arginine).

Physical form

Solution in 50% glycerol containing 10 mM Tris HCl, pH 7.2, 10 mM MgCl2, 30 mM 2-mercaptoethanol and 10 mM KCl

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases from several strains of Escherichia coli are shown to elute as a high-molecular-weight complex on 6% agarose columns (Bio-Gel A-5M). In contrast, very little synthetase activity was observed in such complexes on Sephadex G-200 columns, suggesting that these

Arginyltransferase ATE1 mediates posttranslational arginylation and plays key roles in multiple physiological processes. ATE1 utilizes arginyl (Arg)-tRNAArg as the donor of Arg, putting this reaction into a direct competition with the protein synthesis machinery. Here, we address the question of

The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARSs) and their relationship to the genetic code are examined from the evolutionary perspective. Despite a loose correlation between codon assignments and AARS evolutionary relationships, the code is far too highly structured to have been ordered merely

Emerging evidence indicates that tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are involved in fine-tuning gene expression and become dysregulated in various cancers. We recently showed that the 22nt LeuCAG3´tsRNA from the 3´ end of tRNALeu is required for efficient translation of a

Dihydrouridine synthases (DUSs) are flavin-dependent enzymes that catalyze site-specific reduction of uracils in tRNAs. The mechanism of DUS 2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. Previously published turnover rates for this DUS were very low. Our studies show that the catalytic
