This domain is found at the amino terminus of Arginyl tRNA synthetase, also called additional domain 1 (Add-1). It is about 140 residues long and it has been suggested that this domain will be involved in tRNA recognition [1].
This all alpha helical domain is the anticodon binding domain in Arginyl and glycyl tRNA synthetase. This domain is known as the DALR domain after characteristic conserved amino acids [1].
