COMMENTARY hide
LITERATURE
lipoprotein
-
high molecular weight aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex contains lipid. Delipidation does not affect the size or activity of the complex, but a variety of functional and structural properties of individual synthetases in the complex are altered: sensitivity to salts plus detergents, temperature inactivation, hydrophobicity, sensitivity to protease digestion
proteolytic modification
-
processing of the mitochondrial isozyme by removing of the mitochondrial targeting presequence in the mitochondria of insect cells
additional information
-
the enzyme contains proteolytic cleavage sites at the peptide bonds between T252 and F253, E292 and A293, K327 and A328, and P368 and D369
