The family includes the anti-codon binding domain of lysyl, aspartyl, and asparaginyl -tRNA synthetases (See Pfam:PF00152). Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyse the addition of an amino acid to the appropriate tRNA molecule EC:6.1.1.-. This family also includes part of RecG helicase involved in DNA repair. Replication factor A is a hetero-trimeric complex, that contains a subunit in this family [2,3]. This domain is also found at the C-terminus of bacterial DNA polymerase III alpha chain.

aspartate---tRNA ligase  M-CSA #404

Catalyzes the attachment of aspartmate to tRNA(Asp) in a two-step reaction: aspartate is first activated by ATP to form Asp-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Asp). Is specific for tRNA(Asp) since it aspartylates tRNA(Asn) 3 orders of magnitude less efficiently than tRNA(Asp).

Aspartyl tRNA synthetase is an alpha2 dimer that belongs to class IIb. Structural analysis combined with mutagenesis and enzymology data on the yeast enzyme point to a tRNA binding process that starts by a recognition event between the tRNA anticodon loop and the synthetase anticodon binding module.
