Abstract excerpt
An ancillary RNA-binding domain is appended to the C-terminus of human methionyl-tRNA synthetase. It comprises a helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif related to the repeated units of the linker region of bifunctional glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase, and a specific C-terminal KGKKKK lysine-rich cluster (LRC). Here we show by gel retardation and tRNA aminoacylation experiments that these two regions are important for tRNA...
