Secondary Information

Protein Function tRNA-binding protein that catalyzes the esterification of l-arginine to its cognate tRNA; aminoacyl adenylate formation occurs in the presence of amino acids, ATP and Mg2+, and then the aminoacyl group of the enzyme-bound intermediate is transferred to the 30-end of the cognate tRNA to form an aminoacyl-tRNA; protein translation, one ArgRS isoform,a component of the multi-synthetase complex, interacts with several proteins, such as the tRNA-associating factor p43 and leucyl-tRNA synthetase, through its 72 amino acid N-terminal extension; play a role in the N-end rule pathway of ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation by participating in the formation and provision of ArgtRNAArg to arginyl-tRNA transferase for arginylation of all acidic N-terminal residue, as well as oxidized cysteine. The free form of human cytoplasmic arginyl-tRNA synthetase (hcArgRS) is hypothesized to participate in ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation by offering arginyl-tRNA(Arg) to arginyl-tRNA transferase (ATE1).
Biochemical Properties native form of mammalian arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) is a monomer; p43 to ArgRS reduces the apparent KM of ArgRS to tRNA; one of the nine synthetase components of a multienzyme complex containing three auxiliary proteins; require the presence of cognate tRNA for amino acid activation; second isoform, lacks the N-terminal extension and exists as a free protein
Significance in milk might play a part in tissue differentiation and regulation of mammary gland; individual tRNA's and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases correspond to the amino acid composition of the main milk proteins
