Abstract

AbstractAminoacyl‐tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) maintain translational fidelity by ensuring the formation of correct aminoacyl‐tRNA pairs. Numerous point mutations in human aaRSs have been linked to disease phenotypes. Structural studies of aaRSs from human pathogens encoding unique domains support these enzymes as potential candidates for therapeutics. Studies have shown that the identity of tRNA pools in cells changes between different cell types and under stress conditions. While traditional radioactive aminoacylation analyses can determine the effect of disease‐causing mutations on aaRS function, these assays are not amenable to drug discovery campaigns and do not take into account the variability of the intracellular tRNA pools. Here, we review modern techniques to characterize aaRS activity in vitro and in cells. The cell‐based approaches analyse the aminoacyl‐tRNA pool to observe trends in aaRS activity and fidelity. Taken together, these approaches allow high‐throughput drug screening of aaRS inhibitors and systems‐level analyses of the dynamic tRNA population under a variety of conditions and disease states.
