  • Title: Esterification of Escherichia coli tRNAs with D-histidine and D-lysine by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.
    Author: Takayama T, Ogawa T, Hidaka M, Shimizu Y, Ueda T, Masaki H.
    Journal: Biosci Biotechnol Biochem; 2005 May; 69(5):1040-1. PubMed ID: 15914930.
    Abstract:
    It is generally believed that only L-amino acids are acceptable in protein synthesis, though some D-amino acids, including D-tyrosine, D-aspartate, and D-tryptophan are known to be bound enzymatically to tRNAs. In this report, we newly show that D-histidine and D-lysine are also able to be the substrates of respective Escherichia coli aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.
