CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF L1 RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN FROM METHANOCOCCUS JANNASCHII WITH 1.85A RESOLUTION.CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF L1 RIBOSOMAL PROTEIN FROM METHANOCOCCUS JANNASCHII WITH 1.85A RESOLUTION.
Structural highlights
Function[RL1_METJA] Probably involved in E site tRNA release (By similarity). Binds directly to 23S rRNA. Protein L1 is also a translational repressor protein, it controls the translation of its operon by binding to its mRNA (By similarity). Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedCCA-adding enzyme [ATP(CTP):tRNA nucleotidyltransferase], a template-independent RNA polymerase, adds the defined 'cytidine-cytidine-adenosine' sequence onto the 3' end of tRNA. The archaeal CCA-adding enzyme (class I) and eubacterial/eukaryotic CCA-adding enzyme (class II) show little amino acid sequence homology, but catalyze the same reaction in a defined fashion. Here, we present the crystal structures of the class I archaeal CCA-adding enzyme from Archaeoglobus fulgidus, and its complexes with CTP and ATP at 2.0, 2.0 and 2.7 A resolutions, respectively. The geometry of the catalytic carboxylates and the relative positions of CTP and ATP to a single catalytic site are well conserved in both classes of CCA-adding enzymes, whereas the overall architectures, except for the catalytic core, of the class I and class II CCA-adding enzymes are fundamentally different. Furthermore, the recognition mechanisms of substrate nucleotides and tRNA molecules are distinct between these two classes, suggesting that the catalytic domains of class I and class II enzymes share a common origin, and distinct substrate recognition domains have been appended to form the two presently divergent classes.
