Abstract

Noncovalent interactions of yeast homodimeric seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS) and cognate tRNA(Ser) were studied by the gel mobility shift assay and zone-interference gel electrophoresis performed under the same binding and electrophoretic conditions. Purified tRNA(Ser) as well as total yeast tRNA were applied as ligands. In the absence of Mg2+ SerRS:(tRNA(Ser))(1) noncovalent complex was detected only by zone-interference gel electrophoresis. K-d values determined in the presence and absence of Mg2+ were in the same range, suggesting that Mg2+ ions mainly influence dissociation-association kinetics of the complex, with a minor contribution to its thermodynamic stability. Comparison of these two assays was shown to be useful in the analysis of thermodynamic and kinetic properties of protein:nucleic acid complexes.
