The mechanism of action of methionyl-tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli. Inhibition by adenosine and 8-aminoadenosine of the amino-acid activation reaction
Abstract
Adenosine and 8-aminoadenosine, both competitive inhibitors of ATP-Mg2+ in the ATP-PPi exchange reaction catalyzed by methionyl-tRNA synthetase, are used to investigate the active center for methionyl-adenylate formation. Resolution of the kinetics parameters of the reaction indicates that methionine markedly enhances the affinity of the nucleosides for the enzyme, providing evidence for coupling between the sites for amino acid and the nucleoside moiety of ATP. Furthermore, occupation of both of these sites is a prerequisite for binding of pyrophosphate. Introduction of an amino group in position 8 of the adenine ring strongly increases the affinity constants for the nucleoside and for pyrophosphate in the coupled reactions described above.
