Function

function

Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of glutamyl-tRNA(Glu) to glutamate 1-semialdehyde (GSA).

Miscellaneous

During catalysis, the active site Cys acts as a nucleophile attacking the alpha-carbonyl group of tRNA-bound glutamate with the formation of a thioester intermediate between enzyme and glutamate, and the concomitant release of tRNA(Glu). The thioester intermediate is finally reduced by direct hydride transfer from NADPH, to form the product GSA.

Caution

The sequence shown here is derived from an EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ whole genome shotgun (WGS) entry which is preliminary data.

Family & Domains

Features

Showing features for domain.

TypeIDPosition(s)Description
Domain6-156Glutamyl-tRNA reductase N-terminal
Domain171-305Quinate/shikimate 5-dehydrogenase/glutamyl-tRNA reductase
Domain324-419Tetrapyrrole biosynthesis glutamyl-tRNA reductase dimerisation

Domain

Possesses an unusual extended V-shaped dimeric structure with each monomer consisting of three distinct domains arranged along a curved 'spinal' alpha-helix. The N-terminal catalytic domain specifically recognizes the glutamate moiety of the substrate. The second domain is the NADPH-binding domain, and the third C-terminal domain is responsible for dimerization.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glutamyl-tRNA reductase family.
