GO Classification
Functions
  • ATP binding
  • amino acid binding
  • tRNA binding
  • metal ion binding
  • alanine-tRNA ligase activity
Processes
  • tRNA aminoacylation for protein translation
  • tRNA modification
  • gene expression
  • mitochondrial alanyl-tRNA aminoacylation
  • mitochondrial respiratory chain complex assembly
Components
  • mitochondrion
General FunctionTrna binding
Specific FunctionCatalyzes 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.
