Unilateral aminoacylation specificity between bovine mitochondria and eubacteria.

The present study shows unilateral aminoacylation specificity between bovine mitochondria and eubacteria (Escherichia coli and Thermus thermophilus) in five amino acid-specific aminoacylation systems. Mitochondrial synthetases were capable of charging eubacterial tRNA as well as mitochondrial tRNA, whereas eubacterial synthetases did not efficiently charge mitochondrial tRNA. Mitochondrial phenylalanyl-, threonyl-, arginyl-, and lysyl-tRNA synthetases were shown to charge and discriminate cognate E. coli tRNA species from noncognate ones strictly, as did the corresponding E. coli synthetases. By contrast, mitochondrial seryl-tRNA synthetase not only charged cognate E. coli serine tRNA species but also extensively misacylated noncognate E. coli tRNA species. These results suggest a certain conservation of tRNA recognition mechanisms between the mitochondrial and E. coli aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in that anticodon sequences are most likely to be recognized by the former four synthetases, but not sufficiently by the seryl-tRNA synthetase. The unilaterality in aminoacylation may imply that tRNA recognition mechanisms of the mitochondrial synthetases have evolved to be, to some extent, simpler than their eubacterial counterparts in response to simplifications in the species-number and the structural elements of animal mitochondrial tRNAs.
