nondiscriminating aspartyl-tRNA synthetase In a multiple sequence alignment of representative asparaginyl-tRNA synthetases (asnS), archaeal/eukaryotic type aspartyl-tRNA synthetases (aspS_arch), and bacterial type aspartyl-tRNA synthetases (aspS_bact), there is a striking similarity between asnS and aspS_arch in gap pattern and in sequence, and a striking divergence of aspS_bact. Consequently, a separate model was built for each of the three groups. This model, aspS_arch, represents aspartyl-tRNA synthetases from the eukaryotic cytosol and from the Archaea. In some species, this enzyme aminoacylates tRNA for both Asp and Asn; Asp-tRNA(asn) is subsequently transamidated to Asn-tRNA(asn). [Protein synthesis, tRNA aminoacylation] |
