Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The protein family includes enzymes responsible for the aminoacylation of tRNA with phenylalanine, a critical step in the translation of mRNA into proteins. These enzymes, known as phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases, consist of alpha subunits that catalyze the attachment of phenylalanine to its corresponding tRNA molecule. This reaction ensures that the genetic code is accurately interpreted and proteins are synthesized with the correct sequence of amino acids. The family also includes O-phosphoseryl-tRNA(Cys) synthetase subfamily members, which catalyze the attachment of O-phosphoserine to tRNA(Cys), and a few uncharacterized proteins that may have related functions.
