As IleRS can inadvertently accommodate and process structurally similar amino acids such as valine, to avoid such errors it has two additional distinct tRNA(Ile)-dependent editing activities. One activity is designated as 'pretransfer' editing and involves the hydrolysis of activated Val-AMP. The other activity is designated 'posttransfer' editing and involves deacylation of mischarged Val-tRNA(Ile) (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_02003] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (IleRS) links tRNA(Ile) with not only its cognate isoleucine but also the nearly cognate valine. The CP1 domain of IleRS deacylates, or edits, the mischarged Val-tRNA(Ile). We determined the crystal structures of the Thermus thermophilus IleRS CP1 domain alone, and in its complex with valine at 1.8- and 2.0-A resolutions, respectively. In the complex structure, the Asp(328) residue, which was shown to be critical for the editing reaction against Val-tRNA(Ile) by a previous mutational analysis, recognizes the valine NH(3)(+) group. The valine side chain binding pocket is only large enough to accommodate valine, and the placement of an isoleucine model in this location revealed that the additional methylene group of isoleucine would clash with His(319). The H319A mutant of Escherichia coli IleRS reportedly deacylates the cognate Ile-tRNA(Ile) in addition to Val-tRNA(Ile), indicating that the valine-binding mode found in this study represents that in the Val-tRNA(Ile) editing reaction. Analyses of the Val-tRNA(Ile) editing activities of T. thermophilus IleRS mutants revealed the importance of Thr(228), Thr(229), Thr(230), and Asp(328), which are coordinated with water molecules in the present structure. The structural model for the Val-adenosine moiety of Val-tRNA(Ile) bound in the IleRS editing site revealed some interesting differences in the substrate binding and recognizing mechanisms between IleRS and T. thermophilus leucyl-tRNA synthetase. For example, the carbonyl oxygens of the amino acids are located opposite to each other, relative to the adenosine ribose ring, and are differently recognized.
