| UniProt functional annotation for O58307 | |||
| UniProt code: O58307. |
| Organism: | Pyrococcus horikoshii (strain ATCC 700860 / DSM 12428 / JCM 9974 / NBRC 100139 / OT-3). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus. | |
| Function: | Functions in trans to edit the amino acid moiety from mischarged charged Ser-tRNA(Ala). Has little activity against Gly- tRNA(Ala). | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16087889, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16374837}; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit; the homodimer seems not to bind zinc. The zinc is probably not catalytic (PubMed:16087889). Another report suggests the zinc is catalytic (PubMed:16374837). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16087889, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16374837}; | |
| Subunit: | Monomer and homodimer; the dimer is less active in tRNA editing and does not have a zinc ion associated with it (PubMed:16087889). Another report shows only a monomeric form (PubMed:16374837). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16087889, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16374837}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Editing domain AlaX-S subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
