The high-molecular-mass form of valyl-tRNA synthetase is associated with the first elongation factor activity. It includes two polypeptides of about 50 kDa and two others of 40 and 30 kDa, identified as alpha, beta, gamma and delta subunits of eEF-1H. The complex of valyl-tRNA synthetase with eEF-1H is suggested to be a novel form of the first elongation factor.

(2,3)-4-Fluorovaline (FVal) is an analogue of valine, where a single CH group is substituted by a CHF group. In the absence of valine, valyl-tRNA synthetase uses FVal as a substitute, enabling the production of proteins uniformly labeled with FVal. Here, we describe the production and analysis of peptidyl-prolyl isomerase B where all 16 valine residues have been replaced by FVal synthesized with a C-labeled CHF group.

Article Synopsis
- Modifications at the wobble position in tRNA help it to interact with different types of bases, allowing it to pair with more than just the usual ones.
- In some bacteria, special modified versions of the base uridine (like moU and cmoU) help tRNA recognize specific codons.
- A certain type of tRNA (UAC) in a bacteria does not have modifications and doesn't work well to pick up valine, but it can still recognize different valine codons during protein synthesis.

Plasmodium falciparum aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (PfaaRSs) are potent antimalarial targets essential for proteome fidelity and overall parasite survival in every stage of the parasite's life cycle. So far, some of these proteins have been singly targeted yielding inhibitor compounds that have been limited by incidences of resistance which can be overcome via pan-inhibition strategies. Hence, herein, for the first time, we report the identification and in vitro antiplasmodial validation of Mitomycin (MMC) as a probable pan-inhibitor of class 1a (arginyl(A)-, cysteinyl(C), isoleucyl(I)-, leucyl(L), methionyl(M), and valyl(V)-) PfaaRSs which hypothetically may underlie its previously reported activity on the ribosomal RNA to inhibit protein translation and biosynthesis.
