DOI: 10.1002/wrna.1564
Abstract: Aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (aaRS) are well studied for their roles in tRNA charging with cognate amino acid. Nevertheless, numerous lines of evidence indicate that these proteins have roles other than tRNA charging. These include coordination… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2017.12.006
Abstract: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) decode genetic information by coupling tRNAs with cognate amino acids. In the archaeon Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus arginyl- and seryl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS and SerRS, respectively) form a complex which enhances serylation and facilitates tRNASer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ymeth.2016.11.014
Abstract: Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are enzymes that function at the first step of translation, catalyzing the conjugation of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs for protein synthesis. While preserving this essential role, higher eukaryotic aaRSs, such… read more here.
