  2. Aminoacyl-tRNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminoacyl-tRNA

    Furthermore, the TetM protein is found to allow aminoacyl-tRNA molecules to bind to the ribosomal acceptor site, despite being concentrated with tetracyclines that would typically inhibit such actions. The TetM protein is regarded as a ribosomal protection protein, exhibiting GTPase activity that is dependent upon ribosomes.

  3. Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminoacyl_tRNA_synthetase

    The synthetase first binds ATP and the corresponding amino acid (or its precursor) to form an aminoacyl-adenylate, releasing inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi).The adenylate-aaRS complex then binds the appropriate tRNA molecule's D arm, and the amino acid is transferred from the aa-AMP to either the 2'- or the 3'-OH of the last tRNA nucleotide (A76) at the 3'-end.

  4. Amino acid activation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid_activation

    Subsequently, aminoacyl tRNA synthetase binds the AMP-amino acid to a tRNA molecule, releasing AMP and attaching the amino acid to the tRNA. [1] [2] The resulting aminoacyl-tRNA is said to be charged. Amino acid activation is a prerequisite to the initiation of translation and protein synthesis. Peptide bond formation is an endergonic ...

  5. P-site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-site

    When a stop codon is reached, the peptidyl-tRNA bond of the tRNA located in the P-site is cleaved releasing the newly synthesized protein. [1] During the translocation step of the elongation phase, the mRNA is advanced by one codon, coupled to movement of the tRNAs from the ribosomal A to P and P to E sites, catalyzed by elongation factor EF-G ...

  6. KARS (gene) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KARS_(gene)

    Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is a homodimer localized to the cytoplasm which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis [7]

  7. EPRS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPRS

    The protein encoded by this gene is a multifunctional aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that catalyzes the aminoacylation of glutamic acid and proline tRNA species. [ 6 ] Phosphorylation of EPRS is reported to be essential for the formation of GAIT (Gamma-interferon Activated Inhibitor of Translation) complex that regulates the translation of multiple ...

  8. Aminoacyl tRNA synthetases, class II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminoacyl_tRNA_synthetases...

    Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, class II is a family of proteins. These proteins catalyse the attachment of an amino acid to its cognate transfer RNA molecule in a highly specific two-step reaction. These proteins differ widely in size and oligomeric state, and have a limited sequence homology .

  9. Aminoacyl tRNA synthetases, class I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminoacyl_tRNA_synthetases...

    The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyse the attachment of an amino acid to its cognate transfer RNA molecule in a highly specific two-step reaction. These proteins differ widely in size and oligomeric state, and have limited sequence homology. [1] The 20 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are divided into two classes, I and II.
