Function
SYY_METJA Catalyzes the attachment of tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr) in a two-step reaction: tyrosine is first activated by ATP to form Tyr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Tyr).[1]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Simple and selective: Tyrosine phosphorylation is a pivotal post-translational modification which regulates the enzymatic activity, protein conformation, and protein-protein interactions. The highly efficient genetic incorporation of 3,5-difluorotyrosine (F2Y) in E. coli and the use of F2Y as a 19 F NMR probe for the tyrosine phosphorylation are reported.
