  Domain Name: tRNA_bind_EMAP-II_li
tRNA-binding-domain-containing EMAP2-like proteins. This family contains a diverse fraction of tRNA binding proteins, including Caenorhabditis elegans methionyl-tRNA synthetase (CeMetRS), human tyrosyl- tRNA synthetase (hTyrRS), Saccharomyces cerevisiae Arc1p, human p43 and EMAP2. CeMetRS and hTyrRS aminoacylate their cognate tRNAs. Arc1p is a transactivator of yeast methionyl-tRNA and glutamyl-tRNA synthetases. This domain has general tRNA binding properties. In a subset of this family this domain has the added capability of a cytokine. For example the p43 component of the Human aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex is cleaved to release EMAP-II cytokine. EMAP-II has multiple activities during apoptosis, angiogenesis and inflammation and participates in malignant transformation. A EMAP-II-like cytokine also is released from hTyrRS upon cleavage. The active cytokine heptapeptide locates to this domain.
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.
