Protein: Tyrosine--tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic (EC 6.1.1.1) (Tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase) (TyrRS) (P36421)
Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast)
Function: Catalyzes the attachment of L-tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr) in a two-step reaction: L-tyrosine is first activated by ATP to form Tyr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Tyr). The specificity determinants on tRNA(Tyr) are the base pair C1-G72, the discriminator residue A73, and the three anticodon bases G34, U35 and A36. Also involved in nuclear tRNA export. Also attaches D-Tyr to tRNA(Tyr), this reaction is about 150-fold less efficient than attachment of L-Tyr.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Predominantly cytoplasmic, only a small fraction (about 1.5%) found in the nucleus.
