Target type: cellularcomponent
A multienzyme complex found in all multicellular eukaryotes composed of eight proteins with aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase activities (abbreviated as: ArgRS, AspRS, GluProRS, GlnRS, IleRS, LeuRS, LysRS, MetRS where RS is the enzyme, preceded by the amino acid it uses as a substrate) as well as three non-synthetase proteins (p43, p38, and p18) with diverse functions. Several of these subunits are known dimers, so the total polypeptide count in the multisynthetase complex is at least fifteen. All of the enzymes in this assembly catalyze the same reaction, the covalent attachment of an amino acid to either the 2'- or 3'-hydroxyl of the 3'-terminal adenosine of tRNA, but using different substrates.

The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex is a large protein complex that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. This complex is responsible for the attachment of amino acids to their corresponding tRNA molecules, a process known as aminoacylation. The complex is typically located in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, and its structure is highly dynamic and can vary depending on the specific cellular conditions. The complex is comprised of multiple subunits, each of which is responsible for the recognition and attachment of a specific amino acid to its corresponding tRNA. These subunits are typically organized in a modular fashion, with each subunit having a distinct structure and function. The complex also contains a number of accessory proteins, which help to regulate the activity of the complex and ensure proper aminoacylation. These proteins include chaperones, which help to fold the complex into its active conformation, and regulatory proteins, which can activate or inhibit the activity of the complex. The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase multienzyme complex is essential for protein synthesis, and mutations in the genes encoding the subunits of the complex can lead to a variety of human diseases. These diseases are often characterized by defects in protein synthesis and can affect a wide range of tissues and organs.'
