The synthesis of isoleucyl-tRNA(Phe) (Escherichia coli) proceeds at an appreciable rate under normal in vitro conditions in the presence of isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase (EC 6.1.1.5) from E. coli. The misacylated product is shown here to be hydrolyzed by highly purified phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase from E. coli, with release of isoleucine and active tRNA(Phe). Thus, phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase possesses a previously unrecognized activity, which deacylates a mistakenly acylated tRNA(Phe); the enzyme is inactive toward correctly matched aminoacyl tRNAs. Such a mechanism could serve to verify aminoacyl-tRNAs, deacylating those that are misacylated. Thus, a common generalization needs to be modified: an amino acid is not necessarily committed to a given (incorrect) anticodon when it is incorporated into aminoacyl-tRNA. It may be possible to correct it thereafter.
在正常的体外条件下,在来自大肠杆菌的异亮氨酰 - tRNA合成酶(EC 6.1.1.5)存在时,异亮氨酰 - tRNA(苯丙氨酸)(大肠杆菌)的合成以可观的速率进行。此处显示,错误酰化的产物可被来自大肠杆菌的高度纯化的苯丙氨酰 - tRNA合成酶水解,释放出异亮氨酸和活性tRNA(苯丙氨酸)。因此,苯丙氨酰 - tRNA合成酶具有一种先前未被认识到的活性,即它能使错误酰化的tRNA(苯丙氨酸)脱酰基;该酶对正确配对的氨酰tRNA没有活性。这样一种机制可能有助于验证氨酰tRNA,使那些错误酰化的氨酰tRNA脱酰基。因此,一个常见的普遍观点需要修正:当氨基酸被掺入氨酰tRNA时,它不一定就与给定的(错误的)反密码子固定下来了。此后有可能对其进行校正。
