It is generally believed that only L-amino acids are acceptable in protein synthesis, though some D-amino acids, including D-tyrosine, D-aspartate, and D-tryptophan are known to be bound enzymatically to tRNAs. In this report, we newly show that D-histidine and D-lysine are also able to be the substrates of respective Escherichia coli aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.
一般认为,在蛋白质合成中只有L-氨基酸是可接受的,尽管已知一些D-氨基酸,包括D-酪氨酸、D-天冬氨酸和D-色氨酸可通过酶促作用与tRNA结合。在本报告中,我们首次表明D-组氨酸和D-赖氨酸也能够分别作为大肠杆菌氨酰-tRNA合成酶的底物。
