Partitioning of the initial catalytic steps of leucyl-tRNA synthetase is driven by an active site peptide-plane flip

Crystal structures for all enzyme states of leucyl-tRNA synthetase in Neisseria gonorrhoeae reveal multi-domain conformational changes that correlate with a local peptide-plane flip in the active site to compartmentalize catalytic steps.
