Abstract

Expression and purification of full-length Alanyl-tRNA-synthetase from Thermus thermophilus HB27

Highlights

  • IntroductionAminoacyl-tRNA-synthetases (aaRSs) attach cognate amino acids (aa) to their tRNAs in a two-step reaction: 1) the activation of amino acid with ATP (generation of aa-AMP) and 2) the transfer of activated amino acid to the 3’-end of tRNA (formation of aminoacyl-tRNA) [1, 2]

  • Aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetases attach cognate amino acids to their tRNAs in a two-step reaction: 1) the activation of amino acid with ATP and 2) the transfer of activated amino acid to the 3’-end of tRNA [1, 2]

  • Based on the sequence information of alaS from Thermus thermophilus strain HB27 (P61707 in UniProt [25] and WP_011173855.1 in GenBank [26], 882 amino acid residues) a pair of primers was designed for PCR: 5’ forward – atatgcgcacggcggagatccgcgagaagttcc and 5’ reverse – aagcttattaggggaggaggccggggagggcctcccgg, which contained NdeI and HindIII restriction sites

Summary

Introduction

Aminoacyl-tRNA-synthetases (aaRSs) attach cognate amino acids (aa) to their tRNAs in a two-step reaction: 1) the activation of amino acid with ATP (generation of aa-AMP) and 2) the transfer of activated amino acid to the 3’-end of tRNA (formation of aminoacyl-tRNA) [1, 2]. By different functional and structural features, these enzymes were divided into classes I and II [3,4,5]. Alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AlaRS) belongs to class II and consists of four domains: the N-terminal (aminoacyl­ation domain), editing one, the domain of tRNA recognition and the.
