tRNA-dependent active site assembly in a class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.

  ABSTRACT  
 
The crystal structure of ligand-free E. coli glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS) at 2.4 A resolution shows that substrate binding is essential to construction of a catalytically proficient active site. tRNA binding generates structural changes throughout the enzyme, repositioning key active site peptides that bind glutamine and ATP. The structure gives insight into longstanding questions regarding the tRNA dependence of glutaminyl adenylate formation, the coupling of amino acid and tRNA selectivities, and the roles of specific pathways for transmission of tRNA binding signals to the active site. Comparative analysis of the unliganded and tRNA-bound structures shows, in detail, how flexibility is built into the enzyme architecture and suggests that the induced-fit transitions are a key underlying determinant of both amino acid and tRNA specificity.

Figure 5. Substrate Juxtaposition by Induced Fit(A) Stereo view of enzyme conformational changes in the vicinity of the tRNA 3'-end. The tRNA-bound and unliganded enzymes are superimposed on the basis of equivalent residues in the DNF domains (see text). tRNA, dark blue; unliganded enzyme, light blue; complexed enzyme, gray (DNF domain) and pink (ABD). Dotted red lines indicate hydrogen bonds observed in the GlnRS-tRNA complex. QSI inhibitor from the complexed structure, red.(B) Stereo view of enzyme conformational changes in the active site, with structures superimposed as in (A). Complexed enzyme, gray; unliganded enzyme, blue; QSI inhibitor, red. The disorder in the surface loop at Val71 in the unliganded enzyme is shown by the dotted blue line (right). Dotted red lines indicate hydrogen bonds observed in the GlnRS-tRNA complex.

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 codes are shown on the right.
