3P0H, 3P0I, 3P0J - PubMed Abstract: 
The single tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase (TyrRS) gene in trypanosomatid genomes codes for a protein that is twice the length of TyrRS from virtually all other organisms. Each half of the double-length TyrRS contains a catalytic domain and an anticodon-binding domain; however, the two halves retain only 17% sequence identity to each other ...
