Three analogues each of leucine and isoleucine carrying hydroxy groups in γ- or δ- or γ- and δ-position have been synthesized, and tested in the aminoacylation by leucyl-tRNA synthetases from E. coli and yeast. Hydrolytic proofreading, as proposed in the chemical proofreading model, of these analogues and of homocysteine should result in a lactonisation of these compounds and therefore provide information regarding the proofreading mechanism of the two leucyl-tRNA synthetases.Leucyl-tRNA synthetase from E. coli shows a high initial substrate discrimination. Only two analogues, γ-hydroxyleucine and homocysteine are activated and transferred to tRNALeúwhere a post-transfer proofreading occurs. Lactonisation of γ-hydroxyleucine and homocysteine could be detected.Leucyl-tRNA synthetase from yeast has a relatively poor initial discrimination of these substrates, which is compensated by a very effective pre-transfer proofreading on the aminoacyl-adenylate level. No lactonisation nor mischarged tRNALeuis detectable.
