Four mutants from Oryza saliva mitochondria tRNA(TrP) toward B. subtilis tRNA(Trp) were constructed and transcribed in vitro with T7 RNA polymerase. The kinetic parameters (K-cat/K-M) of B. subtilis tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase(TrpRS) and human TrpRS were determined with four mutant-type tRNA(Trps). Results showed that for reaction with B. subtilis TrpRS, C2/G71 and C4/G69 mutations each induced a comparable 40-fold and 53- fold of activity to Oryza saliva mitochondria tRNA(Trp) respectively. Notably, when the C2/G71 and C4/G69 mutations were introduced together into B. subtilis tRNATP, a 140-...
