Abstract excerpt
We cloned the cDNA encoding a 597-aa hamster lysyl-tRNA synthetase. This enzyme is a close homologue of the 591-aa Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme, with the noticeable exception of their 60-aa N-terminal regions, which differ significantly. Several particular features of this polypeptide fragment from the hamster lysyl-tRNA synthetase suggest that it is implicated in the assembly of that enzyme within the...
