A simple and practical procedure for the synthesis of P1,P4-di(adenosine 5'-) tetraphosphate from ATP by the catalysis of leucyl-tRNA synthetase from Bacillus stearothermophilus is described. Km for leucine was 6.7 microM and for ATP was 3.3 mM. The reaction yielded not only diadenosine tetraphosphate, but various byproducts such as P1,P3-(diadenosine 5'-) triphosphate, ADP and AMP. By coupling the reaction with an ATP regeneration system by acetate kinase and adenylate kinase with acetylphosphate as a phosphate donor, diadenosine tetraphosphate was prepared as a sole product at a high yield (96%).
