摘要

Lysyl-tRNA synthetases (LysRSs) are unique amongst the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in being composed of unrelated class I and class II enzymes. To allow direct compar- ison between the two types of LysRS, substrate recognition by class I LysRSs was examined. Genes encoding both an archaeal and a bacterial class I enzyme were able to rescue an Escherichia coli strain deficient in LysRS, indicating their ability to func- tionally substitute for a class II LysRS in vivo. In vitro charac- terization showed lysine activation and recognition to be tRNA- dependent, an attribute of several class I, but not class II, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Examination of tRNA recognition showed that class I LysRSs recognize the same elements in tRNA~(Lys) as their class II counterparts, namely the discriminator base (N73) and the anticodon. This sequence-specific recognition of the same nucleotides in tRNA~(Lys) by the two unrelated types of enzyme suggests that tRNA~(Lys) predates at least one of the LysRSs in the evolution of the translational apparatus. The only observed variation in recognition was that the G2.U71 wobble pair of spirochete tRNA~(Lys) acts as antideterminant for class II LysRS but does not alter class I enzyme recognition. This difference in tRNA recognition strongly favors the use of a class I-type enzyme to aininoacylate particular tRNA~(Lys) species and provides a molecular basis for the observed displacement of class II by class I LysRSs in certain bacteria.
