Phenotypes of a mutant
sensitive against D-Tyr [Pubmed|25733610]a ''[protein|search|tyrS] [protein|search|tyrZ]'' double mutant is not viable [Pubmed|25733610]The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
ATP + L-tyrosine + tRNA(Tyr) = AMP + diphosphate + L-tyrosyl-tRNA(Tyr) (according to Swiss-Prot) ATP + L-tyrosine + tRNA(Tyr) = AMP + diphosphate + L-tyrosyl-tRNA(Tyr) (according to Swiss-Prot)[protein|search|TyrZ] is highly specific for L-Tyr, prevents misincorporation of D-Tyr into proteins, less processive than [protein|search|TyrS] [Pubmed|25733610]Protein family
TyrS type 2 subfamily (according to Swiss-Prot), class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family (according to Swiss-Prot)Modification
phosphorylated on Thr-311 [Pubmed|20509597][SW|Localization]
