Figure 3. tRNA mimicry and AARS binding.

Figure 3

a, Backbone traces of superimposed tRNA (cyan) and TLS (red). The ‘tRNA-like’ face is shown. b, Superposition of the TLS onto tRNAVal bound to valine AARS (PDB: 1GAX)25. c, The AC loop of the TLS (red) must swing into position to match tRNA's (cyan). d, TLS structure colored by relative crystallographic B-factor (high=red, blue=low).
