tRNA glycylation system from Thermus thermophilus. tRNAGly identity and functional interrelation with the glycylation systems from other phylae.

Abstract:

:The systems of tRNA glycylation belong to the most complex aminoacylation systems since neither the oligomeric structure of glycyl-tRNA synthetases (GlyRS) nor the discriminator bases in tRNAGly are conserved in the phylae. To better understand the structure-function relationship in glycylation systems of various origins and the functional peculiarities related to their structural divergences, the elements in tRNA conferring its glycine identity in Thermus thermophilus were characterized and compared to those of other systems. Thermophilic identity is conferred by the G1-C72, C2-G71, G3-C70, and C50-G64 pairs together with the G10, U16, C35, and C36 single residues. In contrast to most other aminoacylation systems, the discriminator base is not directly involved in identity. Transplantation of these elements in tRNAAsp and tRNAPhe converts specificity toward glycine albeit conservation of nucleotide 73. Analysis of the functional interrelation of the identity elements shows coupling in synthetase recognition of the elements from anticodon and G10 whereas those from acceptor arm are recognized independently. Despite nondirect implication in identity, the discriminator base contributes cooperatively with C36 in specificity of glycylation. The link between the structural heterogeneity and the functional divergence of the glycylation systems and the phylogenic interrelation of these systems were approached by comparing the ability of GlyRSs of various phylae to glycylate heterologous tRNAGly. Dimeric GlyRSs from mammalian and archaebacteria acylate efficiently only eukaryotic and archaebacterial tRNAGly with a discriminatory A73, whereas tetrameric Escherichia coli GlyRS acylates only eubacterial tRNAGly with a discriminatory U73. In contrast, dimeric yeast GlyRS acylates efficiently both eukaryotic and archaebacterial tRNAGly as well as peculiar prokaryotic isoacceptors. Species specificity is lost with the dimeric GlyRS from Thermus thermophilus that acylates efficiently eubacterial, archaebacterial, and eukaryotic tRNAGly. These features are discussed in the context of the evolution of the glycylation systems and the phylogenic interrelation of the organisms.
