Characterization of a homogeneous arginyl- and lysyl-tRNA synthetase complex isolated from rat liver. Kinetic mechanism for lysyl-tRNA synthetase

Bisubstrate kinetics and end product and dead end inhibition studies were performed on lysyl-tRNA synthetase isolated from rat liver. The kinetic patterns obtained are consistent with a sequential ordered mechanism of substrate addition, tRNA bound first, followed by lysine, and then by ATP. Pyropho...

Zusammenfassung:Bisubstrate kinetics and end product and dead end inhibition studies were performed on lysyl-tRNA synthetase isolated from rat liver. The kinetic patterns obtained are consistent with a sequential ordered mechanism of substrate addition, tRNA bound first, followed by lysine, and then by ATP. Pyrophosphate and AMP are released in a random fashion with aminoacylated tRNA the last product to dissociate from the enzyme. This is the first report of a kinetic mechanism for lysyl-tRNA synthetase.
