  • PubMed Abstract: 
  • Arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) is a tRNA-binding protein that catalyzes the esterification of L-arginine to its cognate tRNA. L-Canavanine, a structural analog of L-arginine, has recently been studied as an anticancer agent. Here, we determined the crystal structures of the apo, L-arginine-complexed, and L-canavanine-complexed forms of the cytoplasmic free isoform of human ArgRS (hArgRS) ...

    Arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) is a tRNA-binding protein that catalyzes the esterification of L-arginine to its cognate tRNA. L-Canavanine, a structural analog of L-arginine, has recently been studied as an anticancer agent. Here, we determined the crystal structures of the apo, L-arginine-complexed, and L-canavanine-complexed forms of the cytoplasmic free isoform of human ArgRS (hArgRS). Similar interactions were formed upon binding to L-canavanine or L-arginine, but the interaction between Tyr312 and the oxygen of the oxyguanidino group was a little bit different. Detailed conformational changes that occur upon substrate binding were explained. The hArgRS structure was also compared with previously reported homologue structures. The results presented here may provide a basis for the design of new anticancer drugs, such as L-canavanine analogs.
