UniProt functional annotation for Q5SM28

UniProt code: Q5SM28.

Organism: Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus.
 
Function: Catalyzes the attachment of proline to tRNA(Pro) in a two- step reaction: proline is first activated by ATP to form Pro-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Pro). Can inadvertently accommodate and process cysteine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12013438, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12130657}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + L-proline + tRNA(Pro) = AMP + diphosphate + L-prolyl- tRNA(Pro); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:14305, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9700, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:9702, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:60039, ChEBI:CHEBI:78442, ChEBI:CHEBI:78532, ChEBI:CHEBI:456215; EC=6.1.1.15; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01571, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12013438, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12130657};
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=0.15 mM for proline (at 60 degrees Celsius) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12130657}; KM=0.02 mM for cysteine (at 60 degrees Celsius) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12130657};
Subunit: Homodimer. Only one tRNA molecule binds per dimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10970866, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11399074}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01571}.
Domain: Consists of three domains: the N-terminal catalytic domain, the anticodon-binding domain and the C-terminal extension. The C-terminal extension binds a zinc ion, which probably plays a non-essential structural role in stabilizing the fold of C-terminal domain.
Similarity: Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. ProS type 3 subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01571, ECO:0000305}.
