Leucyl t-RNA synthetase from a thermophilic bacterium, Bacillus stearothermophilus, effectively catalyzed the synthesis of p^1,p^4-di(adenosine 5'-)tetraphosphate (Ap_4A), p^1,p^5-di(adenosine 5'-)-pentaphosphate (Ap_5A) and adenosine 5'-tetraphosphate (p_4A). In particular, when the reaction was coupled with an ATP recycling system involving thermostable acetate kinase and adenylate kinase, Ap_4A and Ap_5A were produced selectively in high yields. This reaction is selective, gives high yields and does not require protection of the functional groups of nucleotides, and also it can be carried out in an aqueous solution. This method is superior to the conventional organic synthesis and provides a practical means of the synthesizing diadenosine polyphosphates (Ap_nA), biologically important compounds.
