| UniProt functional annotation for P27000 | |||
| UniProt code: P27000. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the attachment of glutamate to tRNA(Glu) in a two- step reaction: glutamate is first activated by ATP to form Glu-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Glu). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11224561, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17161369}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=ATP + L-glutamate + tRNA(Glu) = AMP + diphosphate + L- glutamyl-tRNA(Glu); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:23540, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9663, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9680, ChEBI:CHEBI:29985, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:78442, ChEBI:CHEBI:78520, ChEBI:CHEBI:456215; EC=6.1.1.17; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00022}; | |
| Activity regulation: | In the absence of bound tRNA, ATP is bound in a non-productive mode, and the enzyme cannot activate amino acids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17161369}. | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=4.7 uM for tRNA-Glu {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11224561}; | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11224561}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00022}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Glutamate--tRNA ligase type 1 subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00022}. | |
