| UniProt functional annotation for Q57834 | |||
| UniProt code: Q57834. |
| Organism: | Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (strain ATCC 43067 / DSM 2661 / JAL-1 / JCM 10045 / NBRC 100440) (Methanococcus jannaschii). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanomada group; Methanococci; Methanococcales; Methanocaldococcaceae; Methanocaldococcus. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the attachment of tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr) in a two- step reaction: tyrosine is first activated by ATP to form Tyr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Tyr). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10585437}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=ATP + L-tyrosine + tRNA(Tyr) = AMP + diphosphate + H(+) + L- tyrosyl-tRNA(Tyr); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10220, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9706, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9707, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:58315, ChEBI:CHEBI:78442, ChEBI:CHEBI:78536, ChEBI:CHEBI:456215; EC=6.1.1.1; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=15 uM for tRNA(Tyr) (at 45 degrees Celsius) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10585437}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10585437, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12754495}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. TyrS type 3 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
