Insights into Editing from an Ile-tRNA Synthetase Structure with tRNA Ile and Mupirocin

Silvian, Laura F., Wang, Jimin, Steitz, Thomas A.·1999·Science

Abstract

Isoleucyl–transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetase (IleRS) joins Ile to tRNA Ile at its synthetic active site and hydrolyzes incorrectly acylated amino acids at its editing active site. The 2.2 angstrom resolution crystal structure of Staphylococcus aureus IleRS complexed with tRNA Ile and Mupirocin shows the acceptor strand of the tRNA Ile in the continuously stacked, A-form conformation with the 3′ terminal nucleotide in the editing active site. To position the 3′ terminus in the synthetic active site, the acceptor strand must adopt the hairpinned conformation seen in tRNA Gln complexed with its synthetase. The amino acid editing activity of the IleRS may result from the incorrect products shuttling between the synthetic and editing active sites, which is reminiscent of the editing mechanism of DNA polymerases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
