Frames X. Colef and Paul R. Schimmel abstract: The effect of magnesium on the rate of the amino acid activation reaction oftRNA synthetases has been investi-gated. Thereaction is eq la of the text. Measurements of the equilibrium velocity, V, of eq la were conducted with isoleucyl tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli B, at pH 8, 0, 0.4 m Na+, 25. V was investigated over a permutational variation of ATP, pyrophosphate, and magnesium concentrations, using the standardATP-[8 2P] pyrophosphate isotope-exchange reaction. It was found that magnesium can serve as both an activator and an inhibitor of eq la. There is no detectable re-action in the absence of magnesium. At a given level of ATP and pyrophosphate, increasing concentrations of magnesium give increased rates of amino acid activation until a maximal rate is achieved. At this point the rate is insensitive to further small increases in the level of magnesium, but high concen-trations (10 mM) cause a drop in rate. Furthermore, thesubstrates ATP and pyrophosphate can activate or inhibit the reaction depending, in part, on the concentration of magnesium.The measured rates are then correlated with the con-centrations of the variousionic forms of ATP and pyrophos-phate which exist under the conditions of the experiments. Equations are developed for calculating the concentrations of the various ATP and pyrophosphate species as a function of
