additional information | generation of pZBD-chimeras of Ec-GluRS, four chimeric versions with partly replaced zinc-binding motif, pZBD. In the first chimera [Ec(Te)-GluRS], the pZBD of Ec-GluRS is replaced by the corresponding pZBD from Thermosynechococcus elongatus GluRS (Te-GluRS) whose structure is devoid of a bound Zn2+ despite containing the modified ZB-motif CxCxnYx3H. In the second chimera [Ec(EQRS)-GluRS] the pZBD of Ec-GluRS is replaced by the corresponding pZBD from Escherichia coli Glu-QRS (Ec-EQRS) whose zinc-bound structure contains the ZB-motif CxCxnYx3C. In the third chimera [Ec(Bt)-GluRS], the pZBD of Ec-GluRS is replaced by a 19-residue stretch from the pZBD of Bt-GluRS which contains a disrupted zinc binding motif CxMx20Yx3W and whose structure is devoid of a bound Zn2+ ion. The 19-residue stretch starts from the residue preceding the fourth zinc-co-ordinating cysteine residue in Ec-GluRS and continues until the last beta-strand of the pZBD fold. The overall secondary structure and compactness of wild-type Ec-GluRS remains unaltered in the chimeric constructs. The association of GluRS with tRNAGlu but not with ATP is sensitive to pZBD perturbations. Except for Ec(Bt)-GluRS, all pZBD-chimeras show 100fold or more reduced catalytic efficiency and contain zinc. Natively zinc-bound Ec-GluRS does not require zinc to be active | Escherichia coli |

additional information | efficient glutamylation demands optimal binding of substrates (ATP, tRNAGlu and L-glutamic acid) by GluRS. Binding of tRNAGlu induces conformational changes in GluRS that stimulates the binding of L-glutamic acid leading to the productive binding of ATP. L-glutamic acid is first activated by GluRS in presence of ATP to form the adenylate complex. This is followed by the catalytic step where the acceptor stem of tRNAGlu is glutamylated | Escherichia coli | ? | - |
