Introduction

Pfam

This is the anticodon binding domain found in some phenylalanyl tRNA synthetases. The domain has a ferredoxin fold [1,2].

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) play a crucial role in the translation of the genetic code by means of covalent attachment of amino acids to their cognate tRNAs. Phenylalanine-tRNA synthetase (PheRS, also known as Phenylalanine-tRNA ligase) is known to be among the most complex enzymes of the aaRS family. Bacterial and mitochondrial PheRSs share a ferredoxin-fold anticodon binding (FDX-ACB) domain, which represents a canonical double split alpha+beta motif having no insertions. The FDX-ACB domain displays a typical RNA recognition fold (RRM) (see PROSITEDOC) formed by the four-stranded antiparallel beta sheet, with two helices packed against it [PUBMED:7664121, PUBMED:9016717, PUBMED:10049785, PUBMED:12962494, PUBMED:18611382].
