dc.description.abstract | tRNA-guanine transglycosylase (TGT) is the enzyme responsible for the post-transcriptional modification of specific tRNAs (Asn, Asp, His and Tyr) with queuine. In E. coli this modification occurs via a two-step reaction: (1) TGT-catalyzed base exchange of guanosine-34 with preQ1 (7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanine) and (2) addition of a cyclopentenediol moiety to the preQ1-34 tRNA. E. coli TGT is normally expressed at very low levels ([approximate, equal] 1 mg from 500 g cells). The sequence of the queuine operon of E. coli has recently been reported by Reuter et al. (1991). We have cloned the tgt gene into an overexpressing vector in order to provide a more efficient preparation of TGT. A simple, four-step purification scheme yields 78 mg of homogeneous TGT per liter of cell culture (A600=5 to 6). Amino-terminal protein sequencing confirms the identity of the recombinant protein and indicates that the initiator methionine is retained in the mature form. Native-PAGE of TGT and SDS-PAGE of cross-linked TGT are most consistent with a hexameric quaternary structure for the enzyme. The cross-linking data also suggests that the enzyme exists as a dimer of trimers of identical 42[middle dot]5 kDa subunits (total M1=255 kDa. The enzyme is inactivated by cross-linking with the bisimidoester, dimethylsuberimidate. Substrate (tRNA) protects the enzyme against cross-linking and inactivation by dimethylsuberimidate and against inactivation by modification with ethylacetimidate, a monofunctional, imidoester. This indicates that the enzymic residues (presumably lysines) that are involved in cross-linking and the inactivation are the active site of the enzyme. | en_US |
