Functional narrative    

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) (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + L-tyrosine + tRNA(Tyr) = AMP + diphosphate + L-tyrosyl-tRNA(Tyr). Kinetic parameters: KM=0.5 uM for tRNA-Tyr;
SUBUNIT: Homodimer.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.

Region 1
Type:Disordered w/ Residual Structure
Name:Alpha-helix 7, extended (A7)
Location:130 - 149
Length:20
Region sequence:

SYIERMLDIAEFSTISRVKR

Modification type: Complex
PDB: 2J5B:A
Structural/functional type: Function arises from the disordered state
Functional classes: Molecular assembly
Functional subclasses: Protein-tRNA binding
Detection methods:
  1. X-ray crystallography (298 K; pH: 5.5; TyrRS protein (14 mg/mL in Tris) 2 uL; Tris (pH 7.4) 20 mM; Tyrosinol 1 mM; ATP 1 mM; Sodium citrate buffer pH 5.5 (with 8% PEG 4000 w/v & 15% MPD v/v) 0.1 M; KCl 0.1 M; MgCl2 1 mM)

References:

Comments:
According to Abergel et al (2007), A7 is a 20-residue extended alpha-helix which differs from the conserved motif of a 14-residue helix followed by a 90-degree turn and a 9-residue helix. The authors also describe aa R149 as involved in recognition of the RNA acceptor stem.




Region 2
Type:Disordered
Name:variable loop
Location:150 - 166
Length:17
Region sequence:

CCQIMGRNESDCLKASQ

Modification type: Complex
PDB: 2J5B:A
Structural/functional type: Function arises from the disordered state
Functional classes: Molecular assembly
Functional subclasses: Protein-tRNA binding
Detection methods:
  1. X-ray crystallography (298 K; pH: 5.5; ATP 1 mM; KCl 0.1 M; MgCl2 1 mM; Sodium citrate buffer pH 5.5 (with 8% PEG 4000 w/v & 15% MPD v/v) 0.1 M; Tris (pH 7.4) 20 mM; Tyrosinol 1 mM; TyrRS protein (14 mg/mL in Tris) 2 uL)

Region 3
Type:Disordered
Name:KMSKS region
Location:230 - 234
Length:5
Region sequence:

KMSKS

Modification type: Complex
PDB: 2J5B:A
Structural/functional type: Function arises via a disorder to order transition
Functional classes: Molecular assembly
Functional subclasses: Protein-tRNA binding
Detection methods:
  1. X-ray crystallography (298 K; pH: 5.5; ATP 1 mM; KCl 0.1 M; MgCl2 1 mM; Sodium citrate buffer pH 5.5 (with 8% PEG 4000 w/v & 15% MPD v/v) 0.1 M; Tris (pH 7.4) 20 mM; Tyrosinol 1 mM; TyrRS protein (14 mg/mL in Tris) 2 uL)

References:
  1. Abergel C, Rudinger-Thirion J, Giegé R, Claverie JM. "Virus-encoded aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases: structural and functional characterization of mimivirus TyrRS and MetRS." J. Virol.. 2007; 81(22): 12406-17. PubMed: 17855524

Comments:
Abergel et al (2007) discuss the high conservation of the KMSKS motif and note that "this loop [is] often disordered in ATP-free TyrRS structures." Additionally, aa K233 participates in ATP binding.
