Abstract

The affinity column lysyldiaminohexyl-Sepharose 4B has been synthesized for the purification of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complexes. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase (EC 6.1.1.6) bound specifically to the Sepharose-bound lysine. The purified lysyl-tRNA synthetase was associated with arginyl-tRNA synthetase (EC 6.1.1.16) and sedimented at 18S and 12S. A 24S lysyl-tRNA synthetase bound specifically to the affinity column and also found associated with arginyl-tRNA synthetase. The results favor the model of a heterotypic multienzyme complex of mammalian aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.
