RecName: Full=Probable alanine--tRNA ligase, chloroplastic;
EC 6.1.1.7;
AltName: Full=Alanyl-tRNA synthetase;
Short=AlaRS;

Comments [?]

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). Also edits incorrectly charged tRNA(Ala) via its editing domain.
Catalytic activity RHEA:12540: ATP + L-alanine + tRNA(Ala) = AMP + diphosphate + L-alanyl-tRNA(Ala)
EC 6.1.1.7
Cofactor Zn(2+)
Note: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.
Subunit Monomer.
Subcellular location Plastid, chloroplast. Mitochondrion.
Domain Consists of three domains; the N-terminal catalytic domain, the editing domain and the C-terminal C-Ala domain. The editing domain removes incorrectly charged amino acids, while the C-Ala domain, along with tRNA(Ala), serves as a bridge to cooperatively bring together the editing and aminoacylation centers thus stimulating deacylation of misacylated tRNAs.
Similarity Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.
