Abstract excerpt
An RNA aptamer derived from tRNA(Gln) isolated in vitro and a rationally redesigned tRNA(Gln) were used to address the relationship between structure and function of tRNA(Gln) aminoacylation in Escherichia coli. Two mutant tRNA(Gln) sequences were studied: an aptamer that binds 26-fold tighter to glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase than wild-type tRNA(Gln) in vitro, redesigned in the variable loop, and a mutant with...
