Phenylalanine--tRNA ligase, mitochondrial

UniProtKB accession:  O95363

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Is responsible for the charging of tRNA(Phe) with phenylalanine in mitochondrial translation. To a lesser extent, also catalyzes direct attachment of m-Tyr (an oxidized version of Phe) to tRNA(Phe), thereby opening the way for delivery of the misacylated tRNA to the ribosome and incorporation of ROS-damaged amino acid into proteins.
