Seryl-tRNA synthetase protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. SARS Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 537 amino acids (1-514) and having a molecular mass of 61.2kDa.SARS is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Seryl-tRNA synthetase, cytoplasmic (SARS) is a member of the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases' role is to catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNAs by their corresponding amino acids, as a result linking amino acids with tRNA-contained nucleotide triplets. The SARS enzyme catalyzes the attachment of serine to tRNA (Ser) . SARS enzyme is probably able to aminoacylate tRNA (Sec) with serine, to form the misacylated tRNA L-seryl-tRNA (Sec), which will be then converted into selenocysteinyl-tRNA (Sec) .
