Abstract

The attachment of specific amino acids to the 3'-end of cognate transfer of RNAs (tRNAs) is catalyzed by a class of enzymes known as aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS). We have previously demonstrated that Escherichia coli proline-tRNA synthetase (ProRS) can aminoacylate semi-synthetic tRNAs prepared by annealing two RNA oligonucleotides. We set out to examine the factors that are important in selective recognition of tRNAPro by ProRS, using semi-synthetic tRNAs and full-length tRNA transcripts.
