摘要：
While crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analyses are available of phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PheRS) from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus, neither the primary structure of its constituent alpha and beta-subunits nor the nucleotide sequence of the corresponding pheS and pheT genes were known. Using specific oligonucleotides of conserved pheS regions that were adapted to the T thermophilus codon usage, we identified, cloned and subsequently sequenced the pheST genes of this bacterium. The sequences reported here will greatly aid in the three-dimensional structure determination of T thermophilus PheRS, a heterotetrameric (alpha-2-beta-2), class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.
