Structural and functional analysis of the HD domain. (A) The cavity on the HD domain. The conserved residues in the cavity are colored purple, while other regions are colored white. (B) The aminoacylation activities of wild-type EcGlyRS and its variants with single mutations in the HD domain. (C) The structural superposition between the HD domain and the Mid1 subdomain of Archaeoglobus fulgidus AlaRS (AfAlaRS) in complex with tRNAAla (PDB: 3wqy). Mid 1 (cyan) in the tRNA-recognition domain of AfAlaRS and tRNAAla(black) are shown as cartoons. The discriminator base A73 and the G3·U70 pair in tRNAAla are presented as sticks. The polar contact between Asp459 and U70 is indicated by the yellow dashed line.
