为了研究tRNATrp的氨基酸接受茎中除两对半碱基以外的特异性元件,设计并完成了4种水稻线粒体tRNATrp向枯草杆菌tRNATrp的突变体 (MPB0, G1A和U5G/A68C;MPB1,C2G/G71C;MPB2,C4G/G69C;MPB3,C2G/G71C和C4G/G69C),体外转录并用枯草杆菌和人这两种不同种属来源的色氨酰 tRNA 合成酶(TrpRS)测定了这些 tRNATrp 分子的氨酰化活力(Kcat/KM).结果表明,这些突变体具有被枯草杆菌TrpRS氨酰化的能力,与野生型水稻线粒体tRNATrp相比,MPB0被枯草杆菌TrpRS氨酰化的活力提高了5倍,MPB1和MPB2被枯草杆菌TrpRS氨酰化的活力分别提高了40和53倍,MPB3则提高了140倍,为野生型枯草杆菌tRNATrp的34%,而人色氨酰 tRNA合成酶氨酰化这4个突变体的活力都很微弱.揭示了水稻线粒体tRNATrp氨基酸接受茎上的2个碱基对C2/G71和C4/G69的突变,对枯草杆菌TrpRS的识别起重要作用,由此推测,接受茎上的2个碱基对C2/G71和C4/G69也是线粒体tRNATrp重要的特异性元件.
Four mutants from Oryza sativa mitochondria tRNATrp toward B. subtilis tRNATrp were constructed and transcribed in vitro with T7 RNA polymerase. The kinetic parameters (Kcat/KM) of B. subtilis tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase(TrpRS) and human TrpRS were determined with four mutant-type tRNATrps. Results showed that for reaction with B. subtilis TrpRS, C2/G71 and C4/G69 mutations each induced a comparable 40-fold and 53- fold of activity to Oryza sativa mitochondria tRNATrp respectively. Notably, when the C2/G71 and C4/G69 mutations were introduced together into B. subtilis tRNATrp, a 140-fold of reaction rate resulted, the catalytic efficiency was 34 percent as that of wild-type B. subtilis tRNATrp, but these four mutants resulted in a weak aminoacylation efficiency by human TrpRS, and the change was little. Clearly, the results indicate that C2/G71 and C4/G69 bases in the acceptor stem are important species-specific elements of Oryza sativa mitochondria tRNATrp, since which are significant to the aminoacryl activity.
