Other tRNA synthetase sub-families are too dissimilar to be included. This family includes only phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases. This is the core catalytic domain.
This domain is found in prokaryotic methionyl-tRNA synthetases, prokaryotic phenylalanyl tRNA synthetases the yeast GU4 nucleic-binding protein (G4p1 or p42, ARC1) [2], human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase [1], and endothelial-monocyte activating polypepti ...
This domain is found in prokaryotic methionyl-tRNA synthetases, prokaryotic phenylalanyl tRNA synthetases the yeast GU4 nucleic-binding protein (G4p1 or p42, ARC1) [2], human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase [1], and endothelial-monocyte activating polypeptide II. G4p1 binds specifically to tRNA form a complex with methionyl-tRNA synthetases [2]. In human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase this domain may direct tRNA to the active site of the enzyme [2]. This domain may perform a common function in tRNA aminoacylation [1].
