Amino acyl tRNA synthetase inhibitors is therapeutics for gliomas at sub nanomolar concentrations [PDF]
Glioblastoma is the most malignant and fatal of all primary brain tumors. Each year in the United States, about 22,000 cases of glioma are diagnosed and about 70% of these patients die. The current treatment modality options available for glioma patients are limited to temozolomide, radiation, and surgery.

Syndrome in question: antisynthetase syndrome (anti-PL-7) [PDF]
: Antisynthetase syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by interstitial lung disease and/or inflammatory myositis, with positive antisynthetase antibodies (anti-Jo-1, anti-PL-7, anti-PL-12, ZO, OJ, anti-KE or KS).

High molecular mass amino acyl‐tRNA synthetase complexes in eukaryotes [PDF]
Aminoacyl-t RNA synthetases (AARS) are enzymes which play an indispensable role in protein biosynthe- sis by catalyzing the formation of aminoacyl-tRNA from amino acid, the cognate tRNA, and ATP by highly selective intermolecular interactions [57]. Joachimiak and Barciszewski [41] have provided an extensive compilation of the properties of the amino ...

Codon Usage, Amino Acid Usage, Transfer RNA and Amino-Acyl-tRNA Synthetases in Mimiviruses [PDF]
Mimiviruses are giant viruses that infect phagocytic protists, including <i>Acanthamoebae</i> spp., which were discovered during the past decade. They are the current record holder among viruses for their large particle and genome sizes. One group is composed of three lineages, referred to as A, B and C, which include the vast majority of ...

An engineered Tetrahymena tRNA(Gln) for in vivo incorporation of unnatural amino acids into proteins by nonsense suppression [PDF]
A new tRNA, THG73, has been designed and evaluated as a vehicle for incorporating unnatural amino acids site-specifically into proteins expressed in vivo using the stop codon suppression technique.

Mimivirus TyrRS: preliminary structural and functional characterization of the first amino-acyl tRNA synthetase found in a virus [PDF]
The amoeba-infecting Mimivirus is the largest known double-stranded DNA virus, with a 400 nm particle size, comparable to that of mycoplasma. The complete sequence of its 1.2 Mbp genome has recently been determined [Raoult et al. (2004), Science, 306, 1344-1350] and revealed numerous genes that were not expected to be found in a virus, such as genes ...

Nucleosided derived antibiotics to fight microbial drug resistance: New utilities for an established class of drugs? [PDF]
Novel antibiotics are urgently needed to combat the rise of infections due to drug-resistant microorganisms. Numerous natural nucleosides and their synthetically modified analogues have been reported to have moderate to good antibiotic activity against ...
