Figure 13

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) evolution (mostly) in Pyrococcus furiosis (Pfu), an ancient archaea. Columns of the genetic code are indicated by shading: column 1 (red); column 2 (yellow); column 3 (blue); and column 4 (green). Class I and class II aaRS enzymes are indicated with their structural subclasses (A–E). aaRS enzymes with editing active sites are in green type. Boxes are placed around class I aaRS enzymes. Sma: Staphylothermus marinus; Eco: Escherichia coli. AlaX is an editing function missing a synthetic AlaRS active site. This figure is modified from [46].
