'''Structure of tRNA-Dependent Amidotransferase GatCAB complexed with Asn'''<br />

==Overview==

The formation of glutaminyl transfer RNA (Gln-tRNA(Gln)) differs among the, three domains of life. Most bacteria employ an indirect pathway to produce, Gln-tRNA(Gln) by a heterotrimeric glutamine amidotransferase CAB (GatCAB), that acts on the misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln). Here, we describe a series of, crystal structures of intact GatCAB from Staphylococcus aureus in the apo, form and in the complexes with glutamine, asparagine, Mn2+, and adenosine, triphosphate analog. Two identified catalytic centers for the glutaminase, and transamidase reactions are markedly distant but connected by a, hydrophilic ammonia channel 30 A in length. Further, we show that the, first U-A base pair in the acceptor stem and the D loop of tRNA(Gln) serve, as identity elements essential for discrimination by GatCAB and propose a, complete model for the overall concerted reactions to synthesize, Gln-tRNA(Gln).
