The genes of aspartyl-tRNA synthetase (AspRS) from two Thermus thermophilus strain VK-1 and HB8, have been cloned and sequenced. Their nucleotidic sequences code for the same protein which displays the three characteristic motifs of class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. This enzyme shows 50% identity with Escherichia coli AspRS, over the totality of the chain (580 amino acids). A comparison with the eukaryotic yeast cytoplasmic AspRS indicates the presence in the prokaryotic AspRS of an extra domain between motifs 2 and 3 much larger than in the eukaryotic ones. When its gene is under the control of the tac promoter of the expression vector pKK223-3, the protein is efficiently overexpressed as a thermostable protein in E. coli.
