Abstract excerpt
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are normally found in one of two mutually exclusive structural classes, the only known exception being lysyl-tRNA synthetase which exists in both classes I (LysRS1) and II (LysRS2). Differences in tRNA acceptor stem recognition between LysRS1 and LysRS2 do not drastically impact cellular aminoacylation levels, focusing attention on the mechanism of tRNA anticodon recognition by LysRS1....
