Figure 2: tRNA recognition by GkTilS. a, Overall homodimeric structure. b, Recognition of the anticodon loop. F[o ]- F[c] simulated annealing omit maps (3.7 ) of Arg 142 and three nucleotides (C32, C34 and A38) are shown in magenta and grey, respectively. c, Left, recognition of the major groove of the acceptor stem by the HTH motif and -hairpin; right, the protein surface that complementarily interacts with the 3'-ACCA terminus is coloured according to its electrostatic potential. d, Lysidine incorporating activities of tRNA^Ile2 and GkTilS mutants. The initial rate of lysidine incorporation is shown. Error bars, s.d. of three independent experiments.
