FAMILY

class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as AACL1_BRADU, bll0957. Catalyzes the ATP-dependent activation of L-glycine and its transfer to the phosphopantetheine prosthetic group covalently attached to the vicinal carrier protein bsr0959 of yet unknown function. May participate in nonribosomal peptide synthesis or related processes. L-alanine is a poor substrate whereas L-serine or D-amino acids are not substrates for ATP-dependent activation. Does not display tRNA aminoacylation activity. Homodimer.
