D41N site-directed mutagenesis Escherichia coli
D81H/Q179E/Q201D site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows no activity for L-Tyr and D-Tyr Escherichia coli
D81K/Q179E site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows no activity for L-Tyr and D-Tyr Escherichia coli
D81K/Q179E/Q201D site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows no activity for L-Tyr and D-Tyr Escherichia coli
D81N site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows a preference for L-Tyr that is much stronger than for the wild-type TyrRS. The ligand ammonium is coordinated at the L-Tyr endpoint by Asp41 (which replaces Asp81 in the coordination shell) and Tyr175 but not Gln179. At the D-Tyr endpoint, the ligand ammonium is coordinated by a mixture of Gln201, Tyr175, Asp41, and sometimes weakly by Gln179 Escherichia coli
D81R site-drected mutagenesis, the mutant shows low activity for L-Tyr and D-Tyr, and the same KM value for L-Tyr compared to wild-type enzyme, the mutant is D-Tyr specific, but with low activity Escherichia coli

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction of six mutants tested, two are active towards D-Tyr; one of these has an inverted stereospecificity, with a large preference for D-Tyr, but its activity is low Escherichia coli
additional information the TyrRS stereospecificity is robust towards charge rearrangements near the ligand. Whereas most aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) have a strong preference for their L-amino acid substrate, TyrRS has a detectable, natural activity for the D-tyrosine stereoisomer, only tenfold less than for L-Tyr; additional protection against D-Tyr is usually provided by another enzyme, D-aminoacyl-tRNA hydrolase.
