Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase class II, N-terminal domain
tRNA synthetases class II core domain (F)
Other tRNA synthetase sub-families are too dissimilar to be included. This family includes only phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases. This is the core catalytic domain. (from Pfam)
phenylalanine--tRNA ligase subunit alpha
phenylalanine--tRNA ligase subunit alpha is the catalytic subunit of the enzyme complex that catalyzes the attachment of phenylalanine to tRNA(Phe)
Catalyzes a two-step reaction, first charging a phenylalanine molecule by linking its carboxyl group to the alpha-phosphate of ATP, followed by transfer of the aminoacyl-adenylate to its tRNA; forms a heterotetramer of alpha(2)beta(2); binds two magnesium ions per tetramer. Most phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases are heterodimeric, with 2 alpha (pheS) and 2 beta (pheT) subunits. This HMM describes the alpha subunit, which shows some similarity to class II aminoacyl-tRNA ligases.
