| Abstract |
Internuclear distances obtained from transferred nuclear Overhauser effects were used in combination with distance geometry calculations to define the E. coli isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase bound conformation of Mg(alpha, beta-methylene)ATP both in the absence and in the presence of the cognate and noncognate amino acids L-isoleucine and L-valine, respectively. A single nucleotide structure having an anti adenine-ribose glycosidic torsional angle of -114 degrees was found to satisfy the experimental distance constraints. The nearly identical anti glycosidic torsional angles observed in all three complexes demonstrate that the conformation of the adenosine moiety of the enzyme-bound nucleotide is not sensitive to the presence or to the nature of the amino acid bound at the aminoacyladenylate site. In addition, the acceptable range of Mg(alpha, beta-methylene)ATP conformations bound to the E. coli isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase was found to be nearly identical to that previously determined for the E. coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase (Williams and Rosevear (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 2089-2098). Thus, the predicted structural homology between the isoleucyl- and methionyl-tRNA synthetases, both members of the same class of synthetases on the basis of common consensus sequences, is further supported by consensus enzyme-bound nucleotide conformations. |
