Abstract
1. 1. Like arginyl-tRNA synthetases from other organisms, human placental arginyl-tRNA synthetase catalyzes the arginine-dependent ATP-PP i exchange reaction only in the presence of tRNA. 2. 2. We have investigated the order of substrate addition and product release of this human enzyme in the tRNA aminoacylation reaction by using initial velocity experiments and dead-end and product inhibition studies. 3. 3. The kinetic patterns obtained are consistent with a random Ter Ter sequential mechanism, instead of the common Bi Uni Uni Bi ping-pong mechanism for all other human aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases so far investigated in this respect.
