From the Departments of Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are well known for
their remarkable precision in substrate selection during aminoacyl-tRNA
formation. Some synthetases enhance the accuracy of this process by
editing mechanisms that lead to hydrolysis of incorrectly activated
and/or charged amino acids. Prolyl-tRNA synthetases (ProRSs) can be
divided into two structurally divergent groups, archaeal-type and
bacterial-type enzymes. A striking difference between these groups is
the presence of an insertion domain (~180 amino acids) in the
bacterial-type ProRS. Because the archaeal-type ProRS enzymes have been
shown to recognize cysteine, we tested selected ProRSs from all three domains of life to determine whether cysteine activation is a general
property of ProRS. Here we show that cysteine is activated by
recombinant ProRS enzymes from the archaea Methanocaldococcus jannaschii and Methanothermobacter
thermautotrophicus, from the eukaryote Saccharomyces
cerevisiae, and from the bacteria Aquifex aeolicus,
Borrelia burgdorferi, Clostridium sticklandii, Cytophaga hutchinsonii, Deinococcus radiodurans, Escherichia coli,
Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum, Novosphingobium aromaticivorans,
Rhodopseudomonas palustris, and Thermus thermophilus.
This non-cognate amino acid was efficiently acylated in
vitro onto tRNAPro, and the misacylated
Cys-tRNAPro was not edited by ProRS. Therefore, ProRS
exhibits a natural level of mischarging that is to date unequalled
among the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.
Cysteine Activation Is an Inherent in Vitro Property
