This domain is found in prokaryotic methionyl-tRNA synthetases, prokaryotic phenylalanyl tRNA synthetases the yeast GU4 nucleic-binding protein (G4p1 or p42, ARC1) [2], human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase [1], and endothelial-monocyte activating polypeptide II. G4p1 binds specifically to tRNA form a complex with methionyl-tRNA synthetases [2]. In human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase this domain may direct tRNA to the active site of the enzyme [2]. This domain may perform a common function in tRNA aminoacylation [1]. [1]. 9162081. Human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase shares amino acid sequence. homology with a putative cytokine..

MetRS; adds methionine to tRNA(Met) with cleavage of ATP to AMP and diphosphate; some MetRS enzymes form dimers depending on a C-terminal domain that is also found in other proteins such as Trbp111 in Aquifex aeolicus and the cold-shock protein CsaA from Bacillus subtilis while others do not; four subfamilies exist based on sequence motifs and zinc content

methionine--tRNA ligase aminoacylates the 2'-OH of the nucleotide at the 3' of tRNA(Met); it is required for elongation of protein synthesis as well as for the initiation of all mRNA translation through initiator tRNA(fMet) aminoacylation
