Abstract excerpt
The fact that most bacteria do not contain a full set of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) is often underappreciated. In the absence of asparaginyl-tRNA and/or glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (AsnRS and GlnRS), Asn-tRNAAsn and/or Gln-tRNAGln are produced by an indirect tRNA aminoacylation pathway that relies on misacylation of these two tRNAs by two different misacylating aaRSs, followed by transamidation by an...
