'''The crystal structure of the catalytic fragment of the alanyl-tRNA synthetase'''<br />


==Overview==
==The crystal structure of the catalytic fragment of the alanyl-tRNA synthetase==
Early work on aminoacylation of alanine-specific tRNA (tRNA(Ala)) by, alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AlaRS) gave rise to the concept of an early, "second genetic code" imbedded in the acceptor stems of tRNAs. A single, conserved and position-specific G:U base pair in the tRNA acceptor stem is, the key identity determinant. Further understanding has been limited due, to lack of a crystal structure of the enzyme. We determined a 2.14 A, crystal structure of the 453 amino acid catalytic fragment of Aquifex, aeolicus AlaRS. It contains the catalytic domain characteristic of class, II synthetases, a helical domain with a hairpin motif critical for, acceptor-stem recognition, and a C-terminal domain of a mixed alpha/beta, fold. Docking of tRNA(Ala) on AlaRS shows critical contacts with the three, domains, consistent with previous mutagenesis and functional data. It also, suggests conformational flexibility within the C domain, which might allow, for the positional variation of the key G:U base pair seen in some, tRNA(Ala)s.

== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SYA_AQUAE SYA_AQUAE] Catalyzes the attachment of alanine to tRNA(Ala) in a two-step reaction: alanine is first activated by ATP to form Ala-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Ala). Also edits incorrectly charged Ser-tRNA(Ala) and Gly-tRNA(Ala) via its editing domain (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00036]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Early work on aminoacylation of alanine-specific tRNA (tRNA(Ala)) by alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AlaRS) gave rise to the concept of an early "second genetic code" imbedded in the acceptor stems of tRNAs. A single conserved and position-specific G:U base pair in the tRNA acceptor stem is the key identity determinant. Further understanding has been limited due to lack of a crystal structure of the enzyme. We determined a 2.14 A crystal structure of the 453 amino acid catalytic fragment of Aquifex aeolicus AlaRS. It contains the catalytic domain characteristic of class II synthetases, a helical domain with a hairpin motif critical for acceptor-stem recognition, and a C-terminal domain of a mixed alpha/beta fold. Docking of tRNA(Ala) on AlaRS shows critical contacts with the three domains, consistent with previous mutagenesis and functional data. It also suggests conformational flexibility within the C domain, which might allow for the positional variation of the key G:U base pair seen in some tRNA(Ala)s.
