General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the attachment of tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr) in a two-step reaction: tyrosine is first activated by ATP to form Tyr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Tyr) By similarity. Ref.1 Ref.2

Catalytic activity

ATP + L-tyrosine + tRNA(Tyr) = AMP + diphosphate + L-tyrosyl-tRNA(Tyr). Ref.3

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Ref.3

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=0.5 µM for tRNA-Tyr Ref.3
