Gene Summary
Catalyzes the attachment of both L-glutamate and L-proline to their cognate tRNAs in a two-step reaction where the amino acid is first activated by ATP to form a covalent intermediate with AMP. Subsequently, the activated amino acid is transferred to the acceptor end of the cognate tRNA to form L-glutamyl-tRNA(Glu) and L-prolyl-tRNA(Pro). (UniProt, P28668)

CYTOPLASMIC AMINOACYL-TRNA SYNTHETASES -
Cytoplasmic aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the ligation of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs in the cytoplasm. (Adapted from FBrf0230668.)
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Catalyzes the attachment of both L-glutamate and L-proline to their cognate tRNAs in a two-step reaction where the amino acid is first activated by ATP to form a covalent intermediate with AMP. Subsequently, the activated amino acid is transferred to the acceptor end of the cognate tRNA to form L-glutamyl-tRNA(Glu) and L-prolyl-tRNA(Pro).

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Comments

A multifunctional enzyme whose amino-terminal domain (domain I) includes a glutamyl-tRNA synthetase and whose carboxy-terminal domain (domain III) includes a prolyl-tRNA synthetase. These activities were confirmed by expression of domains I and III in E. coli and the demonstration of their ability to aminoacylate tRNA with glutamate and proline.

External Data
Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)

Component of the multisynthetase complex which is comprised of a bifunctional glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase, the monospecific isoleucyl, leucyl, glutaminyl, methionyl, lysyl, arginyl, and aspartyl-tRNA synthetases as well as three auxiliary proteins, p18, p48 and p43.

        Area matching Drosophila glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase gene, Acc. No. U59923.

        Intron exon organisation of Aats-glupro is determined and transcript analysis reveals two transcripts encode different proteins that are controlled by independent promoters. Transgenic lines overexpressing Aats-glupro show a dominant negative behaviour, competing in vivo with the endogenous partners of the complex, due to the central region containing the repeated motifs.
