Methionyl glutamyl tRNA synthetase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Catalyzes the aminoacylation of tRNAs by their cognate amino acid. Arc1p makes contact with MetRS and GluRS through its amino-terminal domain, while its carboxy-terminal contains a tRNA-binding domain. As a result of the formation of this complex, cognate tRNAs are bound with high affinity and aminoacylation efficiency is increased.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
