title: Histidyl-tRNA synthetase of Chinese hamster ovary cells contains phosphoserine.
abstract: The Chinese hamster ovary cell line 2H2-5, which expresses elevated levels of histidyl-tRNA synthetase, was used to demonstrate that histidyl-tRNA synthetase contains phosphoserine. After growth of the cells in medium containing [32P]orthophosphate, histidyl-tRNA synthetase was isolated by partial purification and immunoprecipitation and shown to be a phosphoprotein. Phosphoamino acid analysis showed that histidyl-tRNA synthetase is phosphorylated on serine, as has previously been shown for threonyl-tRNA synthetase of CHO cells.
