Abstract excerpt
Lysidine, a lysine-combined modified cytidine, is exclusively located at the anticodon wobble position (position 34) of eubacterial tRNA(Ile)(2) and not only converts the codon specificity from AUG to AUA, but also converts the aminoacylation specificity from recognition by methionyl-tRNA synthetase to that by isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRS). Here, we report the crystal structure of lysidine synthetase (TilS)...
