Engineering of tyrosyl tRNA synthetase.

Abstract:

:The gene encoding the enzyme tyrosyl tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus has been systematically altered using synthetic oligonucleotides as mutagens. The construction of mutations has been facilitated by using strains of bacteria defective in mismatch repair and also by utilising a genetic marker in the M13 strain (such as an amber mutation, or an EcoK or EcoB site) which allows selection for the progeny of M13 replication derived from the minus (mutagenized) strand. Several mutations have been constructed in the ATP binding site to elucidate the roles of individual residues in catalysis and substrate binding and it has even been possible to construct mutants which have improved affinity for ATP. Mutations in various surface lysine and arginine residues have allowed us to identify potential contacts with the tRNA, and indicate that a cluster of basic residues close to the C-terminus of the enzyme probably makes important interactions with the tRNA.
