- Description
- ers-2 encodes a predicted mitochondrial glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS), a class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that catalyzes the attachment of glutamate to its cognate tRNA and is thus required for protein biosynthesis; ERS-2 contains, at its C-terminus, six tandemly repeated WHEP-TRS domains that have been predicted to function as general RNA-binding domains that may act as cis tRNA-binding cofactors.
