Valyl-transfer RNA formation stimulated by monovalent cations and spermine in rat liver
The Italian Journal of Biochemistry
|May 1, 1976
Abstract:
Valyl-tRNA synthetase from rat liver catalyzes the aminoacylation of tRNA in the presence of a) Mg2+, b) monovalent cations and c) spermine. The degree of aminoacylation with Na+ is equal to that with Mg2+ but the ATP required with Na+ is 25 times lower than that with Mg2+. The aminoacylation becomes almost undetectable in the presence of Na+ when tRNA deprived of Mg2+ is used.
