Identification of a Specific Translational Machinery via TCTP-EF1A2 Interaction Regulating NF1-associated Tumor Growth by Affinity Purification and Data-independent Mass Spectrometry Acquisition (AP-DIA).
human valyl-tRNA synthetase and mitochondrial protein elongation factor EF-Tu show suppressing cross-activity on different tRNA mutants in humans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mechanism and specificity of suppression, overview. Suppressive activities of wild-type and mutant enzymes, overview
the enzyme possesses N terminal alpha-helices with basic residues distributed asymmetrically, on a single face of the helix, termed basic faced alpha helices, BFAHs, which are unique to the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, structural analysis, determination of distribution of basic residues within protein secondary structure by Fourier analysis, functional and evolutionary aspects of these structural features, overview
an N-domain-deleted yeast valyltRNA synthetase mutant (DELTA1-97) form Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be rescued by fusion of the equivalent domain from its human homologue
fusion of the N-terminal 97 residue domain of human ValRS to Escherichia coli glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase enables the otherwise inactive prokaryotic enzyme to function as a yeast enzyme in vivo. Different from the native yeast enzyme, which shows different affinities toward mixed tRNA populations, the fusion enzyme exhibites similar binding affinities for all yeast tRNAs
a C25U point mutation in the MTTV gene, gene encoding tRNAVal, is associated with a metabolic disorder resulting in the neonatal deaths of numerous siblings. In primary myoblasts and transmitochondrial cybrids established from the proband and offspring, the steady-state levels of the mutated mt-tRNAVal are greater than in the biopsy material, but are still lower than in control myoblasts. Decrease in steady-state mt-tRNAVal observed cell lines is caused by a rapid degradation of the deacylated form of the abnormal mt-tRNAVal. By both establishing the identity of the human mitochondrial valyltRNA synthetase then inducing its overexpression in transmitochondrial cell lines, steady-state levels of the mutated mt-tRNAVal can be partially restored
