Protein
Glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) amidotransferase subunit F, mitochondrial
Organism
Kluyveromyces lactis (strain ATCC 8585 / CBS 2359 / DSM 70799 / NBRC 1267 / NRRL Y-1140 / WM37)
Function
Allows the formation of correctly charged Gln-tRNA(Gln) through the transamidation of misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln) in the mitochondria. The reaction takes place in the presence of glutamine and ATP through an activated gamma-phospho-Glu-tRNA(Gln). Required for proper protein synthesis within the mitochondrion.
Similarity
Belongs to the GatF family.
