Adenosine or CpCpA trinucleoside diphosphate can be aminoacylated by phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase [L-phenylalanine:tRNAPhe ligase (AMP forming), EC 6.1.1.20] when the reaction takes place in the presence of tRNAPhe deprived of its 3' adenosine or pCpCpA terminus. This shows that, upon interaction with tRNA, a structural alteration of the enzyme's active site is achieved. This process may be a determining step in the specificity of the aminoacylation reaction.
当反应在缺失3'腺苷或对羟基苯甲酰胞苷胞苷腺苷(pCpCpA)末端的苯丙氨酰 - tRNA存在的情况下进行时,腺苷或对羟基苯甲酰胞苷胞苷腺苷三磷酸二核苷酸可被苯丙氨酰 - tRNA合成酶[L - 苯丙氨酸:tRNA苯丙氨酸连接酶(形成AMP),EC 6.1.1.20]氨酰化。这表明,与tRNA相互作用时,酶活性位点发生了结构改变。该过程可能是氨酰化反应特异性的决定性步骤。
