UniProt functional annotation for Q9X2I8

UniProt code: Q9X2I8.

Organism: Thermotoga maritima (strain ATCC 43589 / DSM 3109 / JCM 10099 / NBRC 100826 / MSB8).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Thermotogae; Thermotogales; Thermotogaceae; Thermotoga.
 
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}.
 
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};
Subunit: Monomer. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00022}.
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}.
