The enzyme that synthesizes the neuropeptide discussed in question 1 is tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase. (PLEASE ANSWER ALL 3 PARTS!!!!!!!!)

A) This enzyme requires ATP to synthesize the dipeptide, but in the ribosome peptide bond synthesis requires no ATP, why?

B) You are a scientist who wants to study this enzyme-outline a set of experiments you would perform to produce recombinant protein.  You must be specific in your strategy. (i.e. you can’t just say that you will purify the protein-you must indicate how).

C) tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase makes a tyrosyl adenylate intermediate (essential an AMP-conjugated to the amino acid). Within the enzyme a Cys 35 hydrogen bonds to the 3’OH in AMP. Draw this hydrogen bond interaction and indicate the impact of mutating the Cys to Ala for this interaction.

Solutions

Expert Solution

A) tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase requires ATP for synthesising the dipeptide as it needs to first activate the substrate i.e. tyrosine by reaction with ATP to form high-energy intermediate tyrosine adenylate, with the release of pyrophosphate.

While ribosome peptide-bond synthesis doesn't require ATP because the free energy of hydrolysis of PPi generated in the first step, is highly negative to drive the reaction spontaneously.

B) Experiments to produce a recombinant protein:

  • Incorporation of the 'gene of interest' for protein in the expression vector by cloning.
  • Generation of the competant cells and transformation using electroporation.
  • Selection of the positively transformed clones using antibiotic exclusion assays or blue-white screening.
  • Screening of the individual colonies using Gel electrophoresis based assays.
  • Expansion of the positive clones using sub-cloning experiments.
  • Protein produced are analyzed after cell lysis experiments.
  • Purification of the recombinant protein is done using the appropriate chromatography, based on the characteristics of the transformed protein.

C) Cystein present in the enzyme tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase forms a hydrogen bond between -HS group and the H of the OH- group present in AMP. So, when Cystein is replaced by alanine, the thiol group also get replaced and hence, no H-bonding remains between AMP and the enzyme.
