摘要
The extra 5ʹ guanine nucleotide (G-1) on tRNAHis is a nearly universal feature that specifies tRNAHis identity. The G-1 residue is either genome encoded or post-transcriptionally added by tRNAHis guanylyltransferase (Thg1). Despite Caenorhabditis elegans being a Thg1-independent organism, its cytoplasmic tRNAHis (CetRNAnHis) retains a genome-encoded G-1. Our study showed that this eukaryote possesses a histidyl-tRNA synthetase (CeHisRS) gene encoding two distinct HisRS isoforms that differ only at their N-termini. Most interestingly, its mitochondrial tRNAHis (CetRNAmHis) lacks G-1, a scenario never observed in any organelle. This tRNA, while lacking the canonical identity element, can still be efficiently aminoacylated in vivo. Even so, addition of G-1 to CetRNAmHis strongly enhanced its aminoacylation efficiency in vitro. Overexpression of CeHisRS successfully bypassed the requirement for yeast THG1 in the presence of CetRNAnHis without G-1. Mutagenesis assays showed that the anticodon takes a primary role in CetRNAHis identity recognition, being comparable to the universal identity element. Consequently, simultaneous introduction of both G-1 and the anticodon of tRNAHis effectively converted a non-cognate tRNA to a tRNAHis-like substrate. Our study suggests that a new balance between identity elements of tRNAHis relieves HisRS from the absolute requirement for G-1.
