  ABSTRACT  
 
AlaX is the homologue of the class II alanyl-tRNA synthetase editing domain and has been shown to exhibit autonomous editing activity against mischarged tRNA(Ala). Here, we present the structures of AlaX from the archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii in apo form, complexed with zinc, and with noncognate amino acid l-serine and zinc. Together with mutational analysis, we demonstrated that the conserved Thr-30 hydroxyl group located near the beta-methylene of the bound serine is responsible for the discrimination of noncognate serine from cognate alanine, based on their chemical natures. Furthermore, we confirmed that the conserved Gln-584 in alanyl-tRNA synthetase, which corresponds to Thr-30 of AlaX, is also critical for discrimination. These observations strongly suggested conservation of the chemical discrimination among trans- and cis-editing of tRNA(Ala).

Shown is a surface potential representation of PhoAlaX (A) and ThrRS-N2 (8) (B), where acidic and basic potentials are represented in red and blue, respectively. The serine and the SerA76 are shown as stick models. The region corresponding to the hairpin motif is circled with a green dashed line. (C) Superposition of PhoAlaX (red tube) on ThrRS-N2–tRNA (yellow tube). (Left) The overview of the superposed image. The third base pair is shown as a green bar.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
