Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) • aaRS are responsible for ac
curate matching each amino acid with its cognate tRNA
• Some synthetases have editing activities that clear the wrong amino acids

Leucyl-tRNA synthetases (LeuRS)
Mis-Aminoacylation of 4µM tRNALeu with isoleucine by 1µM E.coli LeuRSs
• E.coli LeuRS relies only on post-transfer editing
• Mutation T252Y prevents post-transfer editing activity
• Double mutation T252Y/A293D rescues pre-transfer editing activity Amy M. Williams. et al PNAS.

Work plan
To study the rescued pre-transfer editing activity• MD simulation Systems of E. coli LeuRS CP1
domain complexed with pre-transfer substrate analog NvaAMS:
– Wild type – Single mutant T252Y – Single mutant A293D– Double mutant T252/A293D

Two large flexible regions: residues 280-300 and 360-390
The region in red circle form the whole active site pocket for NvaAMS and regions adjacent to region 360-390 are quite stable
It is reasonable to consider only circled region (residues 228-352) for complex interaction studies

Proposed hydrolysis mechanism
• No proven directly catalytic residue • Anhydride and ester linkages in pre- and post substrate
hydrolyzed by water attacking the carbonyl carbon• Nucleophilic OH- • Positive charge of the carbonyl carbon• Favorable substrate binding configuration• Active site residues positioned water molecule

Wild type system
• Water analysis– Extract water molecules within 0.35 nm of carbon
yl carbon from trajectories– Find the loyal water molecules
• Hydrogen bond analysis– Extract active site residues which form hydrogen
bond to carbonyl oxygen from trajectories
• Clustering– based on the conformational states of NvaAMS
