Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) belongs to class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. It consists of 860 amino acid residues and catalyzes the leucylation of tRNA(Leu). An insertion of its 253-368 peptide fragment between 368 to 369 in CP1 domain of this enzyme was shown to maintain the activity of the enzyme, and the insertion mutant was named as LeuRS-C. Because the insertion mutant of LeuRS was...
