Crystal Structure of the EMAP II-like Cytokine Released from human tyrosyl-tRNA Synthetase

Disease

[SYYC_HUMAN] Defects in YARS are the cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease dominant intermediate type C (CMTDIC) [MIM:608323]. CMTDIC is a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease characterized by clinical and pathologic features intermediate between demyelinating and axonal peripheral neuropathies, and motor median nerve conduction velocities ranging from 25 to 45 m/sec.[1]

Function

[SYYC_HUMAN] 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).

About this Structure

1ntg is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
