ISOLATION OF THREONYL-tRNA SYNTHETASE FROM THERMUS THERMOPHILUS

 

Summary

 

    A method for isolation of high-purified threonyl-tRNA synthetase from T. thermophllus is described, including ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-sepharose, hydroxyapatite, heparine-sepharose and hydrophobic chromatography on Toyopearl HW-65. Yield of the purified enzyme was 9 mg from 1 kg of T. thermophllus cells. The enzyme is a dimer protein (a2 type) with molecular mass of 148 kDa.
