The complete genomic sequencing of Methanococcus jannaschii cannot identify the gene for the cysteine-specific member of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. However, we show here that enzyme activity is present in the cell lysate of M. jannaschii. The demonstration of this activity suggests a direct pathway for the synthesis of cysteinyl-tRNA(Cys) during protein synthesis.
詹氏甲烷球菌的全基因组测序无法鉴定出氨酰 - tRNA合成酶的半胱氨酸特异性成员的基因。然而,我们在此表明,詹氏甲烷球菌的细胞裂解物中存在该酶活性。这种活性的证明表明了在蛋白质合成过程中半胱氨酰 - tRNA(Cys)合成的直接途径。
