HipTO127 phosphorylates TrpS at S197 in vitro, and HipTO127 is autophosphorylated in vitro. (A) Phosphorylation of TrpS and autophosphorylation of HipTO127 and HipA in vitro. HipTO127 or HipA (0.2 μM), [γ-32P]ATP (0.1 μM), and ATP (66 μM) were incubated with (+) or without (−) TrpS [purified from strain C41(DE3)/pSVN46], as well as with (+) or without (−) a mixture of all E. coli tRNAs (0.5 μg) per microliter of reaction mixture as indicated. (B) Phosphorylation of GltX and autophosphorylation of HipTO127 and HipA in vitro. HipTO127 or HipA (0.2 μM), [γ-32P]ATP (0.1 μM), and ATP (66 μM) were incubated with (+) or without (−) GltX (purified from strain JW2395), as well as with (+) or without (−) a mixture of E. coli tRNAs (0.5 μg) per microliter of reaction mixture as indicated. (C) Phosphorylation of TrpS at S197 and autophosphorylation of HipTO127
in vitro. HipTO127 (1.5 μM) [purified from strain C41(DE3)/pSVN42] was added to the reaction mixtures as indicated, in addition to [γ-32P]ATP (0.1 μM) and ATP (66 μM) with (+) or without (−)TrpS (1.5 μM), TrpSS197A (1.5 μM), or TrpSS197D (1.5 μM) as indicated.
