Pham V, Maaroufi H, Balg C, Blais S, Messier N, Roy P, et al.
FEBS Lett . 2016 Sep; 590(19):3335-3345. PMID: 27586694
Glutaminyl-tRNA in Helicobacter pylori is formed by an indirect route requiring a noncanonical glutamyl-tRNA synthetase and a tRNA-dependent heterotrimeric amidotransferase (AdT) GatCAB. Widespread use of this pathway among prominent human...

For tRNA-dependent protein biosynthesis, amino acids are first activated by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) yielding the reaction intermediates aminoacyl-AMP (aa-AMP). Stable analogues of aa-AMP, such as aminoacyl-sulfamoyl-adenosines, inhibit their cognate aaRSs....

Genomic studies revealed the absence of glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase and/or asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase in many bacteria and all known archaea. In these microorganisms, glutaminyl-tRNA(Gln) (Gln-tRNA(Gln)) and/or asparaginyl-tRNA(Asn) (Asn-tRNA(Asn)) are synthesized via an...

Messmer M, Blais S, Balg C, Chenevert R, Grenier L, Lague P, et al.
Biochimie . 2009 Mar; 91(5):596-603. PMID: 19254750
Human mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (mt-aaRSs), the enzymes which esterify tRNAs with the cognate specific amino acid, form mainly a different set of proteins than those involved in the cytosolic translation...

Bioorg Med Chem . 2009 Feb; 17(5):1837-9. PMID: 19217305
The bioactive alkaloid (-)-lobeline was synthesized via the stereoselective acylation (desymmetrization) of meso-lobelanidine by vinyl acetate in the presence of Candida antarctica lipase B.

FEBS J . 2009 Feb; 276(5):1398-417. PMID: 19187240
Mycobacterium tuberculosis glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (Mt-GluRS), encoded by Rv2992c, was overproduced in Escherichia coli cells, and purified to homogeneity. It was found to be similar to the other well-characterized GluRS, especially...

The stereoselective acetylation of meso-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanediol by vinyl acetate in the presence of three lipases gave the (1R,3S)-monoester in high enantiomeric excess (ee > or = 98%). The hydrolysis of the...

Biochemistry . 2007 Oct; 46(45):13190-8. PMID: 17929881
The trimeric GatCAB aminoacyl-tRNA amidotransferases catalyze the amidation of Asp-tRNAAsn and/or Glu-tRNAGln to Asn-tRNAAsn and/or Gln-tRNAGln, respectively, in bacteria and archaea lacking an asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase and/or a glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase. The...
