additional information Homo sapiens LeuRS misactivates several non-cognate amino acids, e.g. Ile and Met as well as the non-standard amino acids norvaline and alpha-amino butyrate. It uses mainly pre-transfer editing to edit alpha-amino butyrate and a tRNA-dependent mechanism to edit norvaline, although both amino acids can be charged to tRNALeu, overview. Separation of the norvaline-editing pathways ?

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have evolved editing mechanisms to hydrolyze misactivated amino acids (pre-transfer editing) or misacylated tRNAs (post-transfer editing). Class Ia leucyl-tRNA synthetase may misactivate various natural and non-protein amino acids and then mischarge tRNALeu. The fidelity of prokaryotic LeuRS depends on multiple editing pathways to clear the incorrect intermediates and products in every step of aminoacylation reaction. Post-transfer editing as a final checkpoint of the reaction is very important to prevent mis-incorporation in vitro Homo sapiens
