Abstract excerpt
To study the recognition by tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS) of tRNA(Trp) discriminator base, mutations were introduced into the discriminator base of Bacillus subtilis, Archeoglobus fulgidus, and bovine tRNA(Trp), representing the three biological domains. When B. subtilis, A. fulgidus, and human TrpRS were used to acylate these tRNA(Trp), two distinct preference profiles regarding the discriminator base of...
