Evidence for a new Escherichia coli protein resembling a lysyl-tRNA synthetase.
The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of an open reading frame adjacent to the frdA gene of Escherichia coli shows 30.5% identity with the C terminus of Escherichia coli lysyl-tRNA synthetases. The three motifs characteristic of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases of class 2 are recognizable within this sequence.
