Revised Manuscript Received May 5, 1993 abstract: A study of the recognition of tRNACys by Escherichia coli cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase using in vivo and in vitro methods was performed. All three anticodon nucleotides, the discriminator nucleotide (73), and some elements within the tertiary domain (the D stem/loop, the€ stem/loop, and the variable loop) are important for recognition; the anticodon stem and acceptor stem appear to contain no essential elements. A T7 RNA polymerase transcript correspondingto tRNACys is only a 5.5-fold worse substrate than native tRNACys (in terms of the specificity constant, k^/Km), mainly due to an increase in the value of Km for the transcript. The greatest loss of specificity caused by mutation of a single nucleotide occurs when the discriminator U7 3 is changed; k^ t/Km declines 3-4 orders of magnitude depending on the substitution. Mutations in thewobble nucleotide of the anticodon also cause reductions in the specificity constant of 3 orders of magnitude, while mutations in the other anticodon nucleotides causedlesser effects. Interestingly, a C35A mutation (with the phenylalanine anticodon GAA) had no effect on aminoacylation by the cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase. Several amber suppressor tRNAs were constructed whose in vivo identity didnot correlate with their in vitro specificity, indicating the need for both types of experiments to understand the factors which maintain tRNA specificity.The accurate conversion of genes into their physical manifestation as proteins is critically dependent upon the fidelity of translation. Translational accuracy requires that aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases maintain a high degree of discrimination between cognate and noncognate tRNA species. The challenge of such discrimination is formidable since all tRNAs appear to share a certain degree of structural similarity, presumably imposed by the requirement that they interact
