  Domain Name: AsnRS_cyto_like_N
AsnRS_cyto_like_N: N-terminal, anticodon recognition domain of the type found in human and Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytoplasmic asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase (AsnRS), in Brugia malayai AsnRs and, in various putative bacterial AsnRSs. This domain is a beta-barrel domain (OB fold) involved in binding the tRNA anticodon stem-loop. The enzymes in this group are homodimeric class2b aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs). aaRSs catalyze the specific attachment of amino acids (AAs) to their cognate tRNAs during protein biosynthesis. This 2-step reaction involves i) the activation of the AA by ATP in the presence of magnesium ions, followed by ii) the transfer of the activated AA to the terminal ribose of tRNA. In the case of the class2b aaRSs, the activated AA is attached to the 3'OH of the terminal ribose. Eukaryotes contain 2 sets of aaRSs, both of which are encoded by the nuclear genome. One set concerns with cytoplasmic synthesis, whereas the other exclusively with mitochondrial protein synthesis. AsnRS is immunodominant antigen of the filarial nematode B. malayai and of interest as a target for anti-parasitic drug design. Human AsnRS has been shown to be a pro-inflammatory chemokine which interacts with CCR3 chemokine receptors on T cells, immature dendritic cells and macrophages.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
