Alanine--tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic (P49588)

Uniprot ID P49588
Protein Name Alanine--tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic
Gene Name AARS
Species Homo sapiens (Human)
Signal peptide(a) N Secretome P(b)
Function Catalyzes the attachment of alanine to tRNA(Ala) in a two-step reaction: alanine is first activated by ATP to form Ala-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Ala) (PubMed:28493438). Also edits incorrectly charged tRNA(Ala) via its editing domain (PubMed:28493438). .

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
