What's a GeneRIF?

the eukaryote-specific protein domains of GluRS and GlnRS substantially influence amino acid binding, tRNA binding and aminoacylation efficiency, but they play no role in either specific nucleotide readout or discrimination against noncognate tRNA
Title: Coevolution of specificity determinants in eukaryotic glutamyl- and glutaminyl-tRNA synthetases.
cytosolic glutamyl-tRNA synthetase ((c)ERS) is imported into mitochondria, where it constitutes the mitochondrial nondiscriminating ERS that generates the mitochondrial mischarged glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) substrate for the AdT
Title: Yeast mitochondrial Gln-tRNA(Gln) is generated by a GatFAB-mediated transamidation pathway involving Arc1p-controlled subcellular sorting of cytosolic GluRS.
assembly of the Arc1p-synthetase complex is mediated exclusively by the N-terminal domains of the synthetases and that the two enzymes bind to largely independent sites on Arc1p.
Title: Molecular determinants of the yeast Arc1p-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex assembly.
These results are consistent with a model according to which Arc1p is a bifunctional protein involved in the subcellular localization of ScMetRS and ScGluRS via its N-terminal domain and of tRNA via its C-terminal domain.
Title: Arc1p is required for cytoplasmic confinement of synthetases and tRNA.
The structure of the interacting domain of yeast glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS) and its accessory protein Arc1p was determined and refined to 1.9 A resolution.
Title: Structures of the interacting domains from yeast glutamyl-tRNA synthetase and tRNA-aminoacylation and nuclear-export cofactor Arc1p reveal a novel function for an old fold.

NP_011269.2

EC 6.1.1.17

Glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS); forms a complex with methionyl-tRNA synthetase (Mes1p) and Arc1p; complex formation increases the catalytic efficiency of both tRNA synthetases and ensures their correct localization to the cytoplasm; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
