Figure 2. Electron Density of the Editing Substrates(A) Simulated omit map (Brunger et al., 1998) for the pretransfer substrate analog (NvaAMS) in the editing (top) and synthetic (bottom) active site. Resolution is 2.2 Å. In both molecules, the ribose is in the C2′ endo conformation.(B) Location of the NvaAMS in the synthetic and editing active sites of LeuRSTT.(C) Unbiased difference map (2.0 Å resolution) for the posttransfer editing substrate analog (Nva2AA) in the editing site. The ribose is in the C3′ endo conformation.(D) Competitive inhibition of E. coli LeuRS editing of Ile-tRNA^Leu by Nva2AA. Editing of Ile-tRNA^Leu by wild-type E. coli LeuRS in the absence of inhibitor exhibited a K[M] of 0.2 μM.
