title: [Hydrolytic activity of bovine tryptophanyl-tRNA-synthetase cause by removal of Zn2+].
abstract: Bovine tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (E.C.6.1.1.2) lacking Zn2+ ions removed by chelation with phosphonate analog of P1,P4-bis-(5'-adenosyl)tetraphosphate (Ap4A) was obtained (E-Zn). E-Zn lost the ability to form tryptophanyl adenylate, however it hydrolyses ATP to ADP and further on to AMP and Pi. GTP serves as a substrate with Km approximately 0.6 mM. It is proposed that the hydrolysable nucleotides bind to a nucleotide binding site(s) distinguishable from the substrate (catalytic) ones. After incubation of E-Zn with Zn2+ and Mg2+ the initial catalytic activity (ATP-PPi exchange and amino-acylation reactions) is restored whereas the hydrolytic activity becomes fully suppressed.
