title: [Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (codases) and their noncanonical functions].
abstract: The aim of this review is to summarize the data obtained in the author's laboratory during the last decade. The main objects of these investigations were mammalian aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, mainly bovine tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (EC 6.1.1.2). The data are discussed and compared with those described in literature. In the course of these studies it turned out that some properties of mammalian aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases for instance, nuclear location of some of the synthetases, presence of extra-domain in bovine tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase capable of catalyzing hydrolysis of ATP and GTP in the absence of Zn2+ ions and normal aminoacylation capacity, ability to bind to one of the glycolytic enzymes, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, formation of aminoacylated and pyrophosphorylated forms of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase etc., seem to be unrelated to the main function of the synthetases, catalysis of aminoacyl-tRNA formation, and, therefore, might be classified as noncanonical ones. Comparison of prokaryotic and eukaryotic aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases indicates the multipotential nature of the latter.
