In almost all eubacteria, the AUA codon is translated by tRNAIle2bearing lysidine at the wobble position. Lysidine is introduced by tRNAIlelysidine synthetase (TilS) via post‐transcriptional modification of the cytidine of tRNAIle2(CAU).Lactobacillus caseiandLactobacillus plantarumhavetilShomologues and tRNAIle2(CAU) genes. In addition,L. caseialso has another tRNAIle2gene with an UAU anticodon.L. plantarumhas a tRNAIle(UAU)‐like RNA. Here, we demonstrate thatL. caseitRNAIle2(UAU) is charged with isoleucine byL. caseiisoleucyl‐tRNA synthetase (IleRS) but not byL. plantarumIleRS, even though the amino acid identity of these two enzymes is over 60%. It has been reported that, inMycoplasma mobile, which has its tRNAIle2(UAU) but notilShomologue, an Arg residue at position 865 of the IleRS is required for recognition of the UAU anticodon. This position is occupied by an Arg also in the IleRSs from both of theLactobacillusspecies. Thus, other residues inL. casei, IleRS should also contribute to the recognition of tRNAIle2(UAU). We found that a chimericL. caseiIleRS in which the N‐terminal domain was replaced by the corresponding region ofL. plantatarumIleRS has very low aminoacylation activity towards both tRNAIle2(UAU) and tRNAIle1(GAU). The A18G mutant had barely detectable aminoacylation activity towards either of the tRNAsIle. However, a double point mutant of A18G and G19N aminoacylated tRNAIle1(GAU), but not tRNAIle2(UAU). Our results suggest that, forL. caseiIleRS, Ala18 and Gly19 also play a critical role in recognition of tRNAIle2(UAU).
