A gene encoding a protein classified as alanyl-tRNA synthetase (AlaRS) was found in the genome of the psychrophilic bacteria Bizionia argentinensis. The enzyme is constituted by three domains with an evolutionarily conserved modular arrangement: the N-terminal aminoacylation domain, the editing domain and the C-terminal domain (C-Ala). Herein we report the near complete NMR resonance assignment of the 122 amino acid C-Ala domain from B. argentinensis. The chemical shift data, reported for the first time for a C-Ala domain, constitute the basis for NMR structural studies aimed at elucidating the cold-adaptation mechanism of AlaRS.
在嗜冷细菌阿根廷比齐奥尼亚菌(Bizionia argentinensis)的基因组中发现了一个编码被归类为丙氨酰 - tRNA合成酶(AlaRS)的蛋白质的基因。该酶由三个具有进化保守模块化排列的结构域组成:N端氨基酰化结构域、编辑结构域和C端结构域(C - Ala)。在此,我们报告了来自阿根廷比齐奥尼亚菌的122个氨基酸的C - Ala结构域的近乎完整的核磁共振共振归属。首次报道的C - Ala结构域的化学位移数据构成了旨在阐明AlaRS冷适应机制的核磁共振结构研究的基础。
