Abstract excerpt
Previous work showed that E coli threonyl-tRNA synthetase (ThrRS) binds to the leader region of its own mRNA and represses its translation by blocking ribosome binding. The operator consists of four distinct domains, one of them (domain 2) sharing structural analogies with the anticodon arm of the E coli tRNA(Thr). The regulation specificity can be switched by using tRNA identity rules, suggesting that the...
