We have analyzed the evolution of recognition of tRNAsSerby seryl-tRNA
synthetases, and compared it to other type 2 tRNAs, which contain a long
extra arm. In Eubacteria and chloroplasts this type of tRNA is restricted
to three families: tRNALeu, tRNASer and tRNATyr. tRNALeuand tRNASer also
carry a long extra arm in Archaea, Eukarya and all organelles with the
exception of animal mitochondria. In contrast, the long extra arm of
tRNATyr is far less conserved: it was drastically shortened after the
separation of Archaea and Eukarya from Eubacteria, and it is also truncated
in animal mitochondria. The high degree of phylo-genetic divergence in the
length of tRNA variable arms, which are recognized by both class I and
class II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, makes type 2 tRNA recognition an ideal
system with which to study how tRNA discrimination may have evolved in
tandem with the evolution of other components of the translation machinery.
