Figure 2. Aminoacylation of RNA Substrates by Aa-AlaRS453(A) The sequences of A. aeolicus tRNA^Ala and synthetic RNA substrates tested for aminoacylation by Aa-AlaRS453. Base pairs in the acceptor-stem region of Ec-minihelix^Ala that differ from the A. aeolicus sequence are labeled with asterisks.(B) Aminoacylation of wild-type Aa-minihelix^Ala (closed circles) and G3:C70 Aa-minihelix^Ala (open circles) by Aa-AlaRS453 at 37°C (pH 7.5). Inset: the same experiment repeated at 55°C. Aminoacylation of Ec-minihelix^Ala was done at 37°C only (closed triangles).
