1 Aminoacylation of Proteins: New Targets for the Old ARSenal
Seyed Mehdi Jafarnejad, Sung-Hoon Kim, Nahum Sonenberg  Cell Metabolism  Volume 27, Issue 1, Pages 1-3 (January 2018) DOI: /j.cmet Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Dual Role of ARSs in Aminoacylation of tRNAs and Proteins
Left: aminoacylation of tRNA by ARSs. The 3′ end of tRNAs are charged with amino acids using activated aminoacyl-adenylate intermediates by ARSs. The aminoacylated tRNA is recruited to the ribosome during mRNA translation. Right: aminoacylation of lysine residues in proteins by ARSs. The high-energy aminoacyl-adenylate intermediate is charged onto lysine residues in proteins by ARSs. Lysine aminoacylation impacts substrate-specific functions in diverse physiological processes. Lysine aminoacylation is reversible by removing the aminoacyl group from the lysine by NAD+-dependent deacetylases. Cell Metabolism  , 1-3DOI: ( /j.cmet ) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
