The ILS1 gene encoding for cytoplasmic isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was subcloned from a 5.4-kb insert of the shuttle vector YEp13 to M13mp8 and M13mp9. Nucleotide sequence analysis of a 4.3-kb BamHI-HpaI fragment revealed a single open reading frame from which we deduced the amino-acid sequence of the enzyme. Independently obtained amino-acid sequence information from ten tryptic peptides of the purified enzyme confirmed the gene-derived structure. The enzyme is comprised of 1073 amino-acids consistent with earlier determinations of its molecular mass. The codon usage of ILS1 is typical of abundant yeast proteins. A significant homology to E. coli isoleucyl- and valyl-tRNA synthetases as well as to yeast valyl-tRNA synthetase was detected. The characteristic amino-acid residues of the aminoacyl-adenylate site and of the potential binding site of the 3'-end of tRNA found in other synthetases are present in the structure.
