Abstract: | Rat liver Fraction X containing the 24S complex of nine aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, including prolyl-tRNA synthetase, was centrifuged on a 15-35% sucrose density gradient to obtain the 8S form of prolyl-tRNA synthetase. The enzyme was purified on a prolyldiaminohexyl-Sepharose 4B affinity column, specifically binding prolyl-tRNA synthetase to Sepharose-bound proline. After SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, two peptides of 58 and 61 kDa were detected in the peak of prolyl-tRNA synthetase activity eluted from the affinity column. The 58 and 61 kDa peptides were also present in the 24S complex containing prolyl-tRNA synthetase activity isolated on the sucrose density gradient. |
