Non-canonical inputs and outputs of tRNA aminoacylation

Résumé

The aminoacylation reaction is one of most extensively studied cellular processes. The so-called “canonical” reaction is carried out by direct charging of an amino acid (aa) onto its corresponding transfer RNA (tRNA) by the cognate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS), and the canonical usage of the aminoacylated tRNA (aa-tRNA) is to translate a messenger RNA codon in a translating ribosome. However, four out of the 22 genetically-encoded aa are made “noncanonically” through a two-step or indirect route that usually compensate for a missing aaRS. Additionally, from the 22 proteinogenic aa, 13 are noncanonically used, by serving as substrates for the tRNA- or aa-tRNA-dependent synthesis of other cellular components. These nontranslational processes range from lipid aminoacylation, and heme, aa, antibiotic and peptidoglycan synthesis to protein degradation. This chapter focuses on these noncanonical usages of aa-tRNAs and the ways of generating them, and also highlights the strategies that cells have evolved to balance the use of aa-tRNAs between protein synthesis and synthesis of other cellular components.
