Abstract excerpt
Editing of misactivated amino acids by class I tRNA synthetases is encoded by a specialized internal domain specific to class I enzymes. In contrast, little is known about editing activities of the structurally distinct class II enzymes. Here we show that the class II alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AlaRS) has a specialized internal domain that appears weakly related to an appended domain of threonyl-tRNA synthetase...
