The use of tRNA affinity columns for the purification of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases was investigated. A purification method for valyl-tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus is described that uses two affinity columns, one containing the pure cognate tRNA, and the other containing all tRNA species except the cognate tRNA. A method for the rapid preparation of the two columns was developed, which does not require prior isolation of cognate tRNA but makes use of the ability of the target synthetase to select its cognate tRNA. The usefulness of tRNA columns is compared with that of affinity columns derived from the aminoalkyladenylate reported in the preceding paper [Clarke & Knowles (1977) Biochem J. 167, 405-417].
研究了使用tRNA亲和柱纯化氨酰-tRNA合成酶的方法。描述了一种从嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌中纯化缬氨酰-tRNA合成酶的方法,该方法使用两个亲和柱,一个含有纯同源tRNA,另一个含有除同源tRNA之外的所有tRNA种类。开发了一种快速制备这两种柱子的方法,该方法不需要预先分离同源tRNA,而是利用目标合成酶选择其同源tRNA的能力。将tRNA柱的实用性与前文[Clarke & Knowles (1977) Biochem J. 167, 405 - 417]报道的氨基烷基腺苷酸衍生的亲和柱的实用性进行了比较。
