Although the nucleotides in tRNA required for aminoacylation are conserved in evolution, bacterial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are unable to acylate eukaryotic tRNA. The cross-species barrier may be due to the absence of eukaryote-specific domains from bacterial aaRSs. Here we show that while E. coli CysRS cannot acylate human tRNACys, the fusion of a eukaryote-specific domain of human CysRS overcomes the cross-species barrier in human tRNACys. In addition to enabling recognition of the sequence differences in the tertiary core of tRNACys, the fused eukaryotic domain redirects the specificity of E. coli CysRS from the A37 present in bacterial tRNACys to the G37 in mammals. Further experiments show that the accuracy of codon recognition on the ribosome was also highly sensitive to the A37-to-G37 transition in tRNACys. These results raise the possibility of the development of tRNA nucleotide determinants for aminoacylation being interdependent with those for ribosome decoding.
