Abstract
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase activity for alanine, glutamic acid, lysine and phenylalanine was studied in the three subcellular fractions of rabbit liver: fraction X, microsomes and cytosol. From 60 to 80% of the enzyme activities were found in fraction X and microsomes. Fraction X was especially rich in the synthetase activities. By means of gel chromatography, heavy (over 10(6) daltons) and light (below 480 X 10(3) daltons) forms of lysyl- and phenylalanyl- but only light ones of alanyl- and glutamyl-tRNA synthetase activities were found in all the subcellular fractions studied. It is concluded that in higher organisms (mammals) all aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, at least in part, are associated with cell structural constituents.Entities:
