For discrimination between isoleucine and the other 19 naturally occurring amino acids by isoleucyl-tRNA synthetases from baker's yeast and from Escherichia coli MRE 600 discrimination factors have been determined from kcat and Km values in aminoacylation of the modified tRNA(Ile)-C-C-A(3'NH2). Discrimination factors D1 are products of an initial discrimination factor and a proof-reading factor: D1 = I1.II1. From discrimination factors and AMP formation stoichiometry factors I1 and II1 were calculated. D1 values obtained with the enzyme from E. coli are generally higher than those observed with the yeast enzyme, in some cases up to ten times. With both enzymes low D1 values are found for cysteine, valine, and tryptophan (20-200), the highest values for glycine, alanine, and serine (600-4000). I1 values calculated for the E. coli enzyme are slightly higher (4-145) than the factors observed with the yeast enzyme (1-85), proof-reading factors II1 of the E. coli enzyme are scattering about a mean value about 70, those of the yeast enzyme about a mean value about 50. Initial discrimination factors I1 are directly related to hydrophobic interaction forces between the substrates and the enzymes. Plots of Gibbs free energy differences calculated from these factors are linearly related to the accessible surface areas of the amino acids. A hypothetical model of the binding site can be given in which selection of amino acids is achieved by hydrophobic forces and removal of steric hindrance.
