Aminoacyl adenylate, a normal intermediate or a dead end in aminoacylation of transfer ribonucleic acid

U. Lagerkvist, B. Akesson and R. Branden

The shape of the time curve for the aminoacylation of tRNA has been investigated using five different amino acid:tRNA ligases. Four of these enzymes showed a lag in the time curve during the early phase of the first catalytic turnover of the enzyme. In each case, the lag period could be abolished by preincubating the ligase with amino acid, ATP, and Mg2+ under conditions known to give an aminoacyl adenylate-enzyme complex. With all five ligases the steady state rate of transfer from the preformed aminoacyl-adenylate complex to tRNA was approximately the same as that of the overall reaction.
