Two distinct domains of the beta subunit of Aquifex aeolicus leucyl-tRNA synthetase are involved in tRNA binding as revealed by a three-hybrid selection.

Abstract excerpt

The Aquifex aeolicus alphabeta-LeuRS is the only known heterodimeric class Ia aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase. In this study, we investigated the function of the beta subunit which is believed to bind tRNA(Leu). A yeast three-hybrid system was constructed on the basis of the interaction of the beta subunit with its cognate tRNA(Leu). Then, seven mutated beta subunits exhibiting impaired tRNA binding capacities were...
