| - | Histidyl tRNA Synthetase (HisRS) is a 94kD homodimer that belongs to the Class II of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS). Class II enzymes have a <scene name='User:Jamie_Abbott/Sandbox2/Catalytic_domain/1'>catalytic domain</scene> composed of anti-parallel β-sheets and α-helices (residues 1-325). | ||

| - | The active site to HisRS contains a histidine binding pocket composed of highly conserved residues found in distinct sequences motifs. First, the LV/AAGGGLDYY loop (or HisA loop) forms one wall of the binding pocket. Second, the glycine-rich β-strand (sequence AGGRYDGL preceding motif 3) comprises the histidine binding pocket floor and wall. Finally, conserved side chains that make direct contact with histidine are Glu83 and Gly127 (motif II), which contact the α-amino and α-carbonyl functional groups, respectively, and Glu131 (motif II) and Tyr264, which make hydrogen bonds to the Nδ and Nε, respectively, of the imidazole ring.<ref>Cusack et.al</ref></StructureSection> | ||
