HAMAP; MF_02007; [distribution of match scores in UniProtKB];[seed alignment for MF_02007]

Identifier

SYY

Protein name

RecName: Full=Tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase; EC=6.1.1.1; AltName: Full=Tyrosine--tRNA ligase; Short=TyrRS;

Gene name

tyrS

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the attachment of tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr) in a two-step reaction: tyrosine is first activated by ATP to form Tyr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Tyr) (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + L-tyrosine + tRNA(Tyr) = AMP + diphosphate + L-tyrosyl-tRNA(Tyr).

SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. TyrS type 2 subfamily.

SIMILARITY: Contains 1 S4 RNA-binding domain.
