Abstract
Valyl-tRNA synthetase from mammalian cells is isolated exclusively as a complex with elongation factor (EF) 1H (the "heavy" form of eukaryotic EF-1, composed of subunits alpha, beta, gamma, and delta). In a previous study, the 140-kDa valyl-tRNA synthetase subunit dissociated from the purified rabbit liver complex was shown to display hydrophobic properties, unlike the corresponding yeast cytoplasmic enzyme of 125 kDa (Bec, G., and Waller, J.-P. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 21138-21143). Compared to the sequence of yeast cytoplasmic valyl-tRNA synthetase, that of the human enzyme displays an NH2-terminal extension of approximately 200 amino acid residues that bears strong sequence similarity to the NH2-terminal moiety of EF-1 gamma (Hsieh, S. L., and Campbell, R. D. (1991) Biochem. J. 278, 809-816). We now show that this NH2-terminal extension can be selectively excised by elastase treatment of the isolated rabbit valyl-tRNA synthetase, without impairing catalytic activity. To examine the role of the NH2-terminal extension of mammalian valyl-tRNA synthetase in complex formation and to identify the subunit(s) of EF-1H responsible for binding the enzyme, reconstitution experiments were undertaken. Native or truncated valyl-tRNA synthetases were incubated with the isolated EF-1 subunits beta gamma and delta, either separately or in combination, and the ensuing products were analyzed by chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose FF and Superose 6. The results demonstrate that the NH2-terminal extension of valyl-tRNA synthetase is required for complex formation and that the enzyme-binding site(s) resides on the EF-1 delta subunit. Moreover, although the EF-1 beta gamma binary complex does not bind valyl-tRNA synthetase, it is nevertheless required for assembly of a complex of defined quaternary structure by preventing the formation of high molecular weight aggregates generated in the presence of EF-1 delta alone.
