Description | Aspartyl tRNA synthetase is an alpha2 dimer that belongs to class IIb. Structural analysis combined with mutagenesis and enzymology data on the yeast enzyme point to a tRNA binding process that starts by a recognition event between the tRNA anticodon loop and the synthetase anticodon binding module [ ]. This family represents a group of aspartyl-tRNA synthetases from the eukaryotic cytosol, from archaea and from some bacteria. In some species, this enzyme aminoacylates tRNA for both Asp and Asn; Asp-tRNA (asn) is subsequently transamidated to Asn-tRNA (asn). |
