| Abstract | The nucleotides in a tRNA that specifically interact with the cognate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase have been found largely located in the helical stems, the anticodon, or the discriminator base, where they vary from one tRNA to another. The conserved and semiconserved nucleotides that are responsible for the tRNA tertiary structure have been shown to have little role in synthetase recognition. Here we report that aminoacylation of Escherichia coli tRNA(Cys) depends on the anticodon, the discriminator base, and a tertiary interaction between the semiconserved nucleotides at positions 15 and 48. While all other tRNAs contain a purine at position 15 and a complementary pyrimidine at position 48 that establish the tertiary interaction known as the Levitt pair, E. coli tRNA(Cys) has guanosine -15 and -48. Replacement of guanosine -15 or -48 with cytidine virtually eliminates aminoacylation. Structural analyses with chemical probes suggest that guanosine -15 and -48 interact through hydrogen bonds between the exocyclic N-2 and ring N-3 to stabilize the joining of the two long helical stems of the tRNA. This tertiary interaction is different from the traditional base pairing scheme in the Levitt pair, where hydrogen bonds would form between N-1 and O-6. Our results provide evidence for a role of RNA tertiary structure in synthetase recognition. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
