Here we show that three existing, structurally different phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases-human mitochondrial (HsmtPheRS), human cytoplasmic (HsctPheRS), and eubacterial from Thermus thermophilus (TtPheRS), catalyze mischarging of tRNA(Phe) with an oxidized analog of tyrosine-L-dopa. The lowest level of L-dopa discrimination over the cognate amino acid, exhibited by HsmtPheRS, is comparable to that of tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase. HsmtPheRS and TtPheRS complexes with L-dopa revealed in the active sites an electron density shaping this ligand. HsctPheRS and TtPheRS possessing editing activity are capable of hydrolyzing the exogenous L-dopa-tRNA(Phe) as efficiently as Tyr-tRNA(Phe). However, editing activity of PheRS does not guarantee reduction of the aminoacylation error rate to escape misincorporation of L-dopa into polypeptide chains.
