Inhibitory mechanism of reveromycin A at the tRNA binding site of a class I synthetase

Reveromycin A (RM-A) selectively inhibits eukaryotic cytoplasmic isoleucyltRNA synthetase (IleRS). Herein, the authors show that RM-A molecule occupies the tRNAIle binding site of Saccharomyces cerevisiae IleRS, and that RM-A cooperates with isoleucine or isoleucyl-adenylate for IleRS binding.
