FunFam 14: Glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) amidotransferase subunit A, chl...

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Glutaminyl-tRNA synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing). [EC: 6.3.5.7]
ATP + L-glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) + L-glutamine = ADP + phosphate + L-glutaminyl-tRNA(Gln) + L-glutamate.
  • In systems lacking discernible glutamine--tRNA ligase (EC 6.1.1.18), glutaminyl-tRNA(Gln) is formed by a two-enzyme system.
  • In the first step, a nondiscriminating ligase (EC 6.1.1.24) mischarges tRNA(Gln) with glutamate, forming glutamyl-tRNA(Gln).
  • The glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) is not used in protein synthesis until the present enzyme converts it into glutaminyl-tRNA(Gln) (glutamyl- tRNA(Glu) is not a substrate for this enzyme).
  • A glutaminase subunit (cf. EC 3.5.1.2) produces an ammonia molecule that is transferred by a 30 A tunnel to a synthase subunit, where it is ligated to the carboxy group that has been activated by phosphorylation.
  • Some bacterial GatCAB complexes also has the activity of EC 6.3.5.6.
