Aminoacylation of tRNA 2'- or 3'-hydroxyl by phosphoseryl- and pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetases.


ABSTRACT: Class I and II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARSs) attach amino acids to the 2'- and 3'-OH of the tRNA terminal adenosine, respectively. One exception is phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS), which belongs to Class II but attaches phenylalanine to the 2'-OH. Here we show that two Class II AARSs, O-phosphoseryl- (SepRS) and pyrrolysyl-tRNA (PylRS) synthetases, aminoacylate the 2'- and 3'-OH, respectively. Structure-based-phylogenetic analysis reveals that SepRS is more closely related to PheRS than PylRS, suggesting that the idiosyncratic feature of 2'-OH acylation evolved after the split between PheRS and PylRS. Our work completes the understanding of tRNA aminoacylation positions for the 22 natural AARSs.
