Novel tRNA aminoacylation mechanisms.

Terry Cathopoulis1, Pitak Chuawong, Tamara L Hendrickson.   

Abstract

In nature, ribosomally synthesized proteins can contain at least 22 different amino acids: the 20 common amino acids as well as selenocysteine and pyrrolysine. Each of these amino acids is inserted into proteins codon-specifically via an aminoacyl-transfer RNA (aa-tRNA). In most cases, these aa-tRNAs are biosynthesized directly by a set of highly specific and accurate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs). However, in some cases aaRSs with relaxed or novel substrate specificities cooperate with other enzymes to generate specific canonical and non-canonical aminoacyl-tRNAs.
