The structural organization and functionality of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have been expanded through polypeptide additions to their core aminoacylation domain. We have identified a novel domain appended to the methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS) of the intracellular pathogen <i>Mycoplasma penetrans</i>. Sequence analysis of this N-terminal region suggests the appended domain is an aminotransferase, which we demonstrate here. The aminotransferase domain of MpMetRS is capable of generating methion ...[more]
