title: Chromatofocusing of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, extracted from NMRI mouse liver.
abstract: Chromatofocusing of 17 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases extracted from NMRI mouse liver is described and the apparent isoelectric points of these enzymes are presented. Each of 15 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases was present in two peaks. Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase showed only one peak and arginyl-tRNA synthetase was present in three peaks. Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation experiments with arginyl-tRNA synthetase indicate that the peaks represent phosphorylated and unphosphorylated synthetase protein. One example of detection of increased protein phosphorylation during a biological experiment is presented.
