In molecular biology, YqeY is a type of protein domain of unknown function. It is thought to have a role in protein synthesis, facilitating the production of charged transfer RNA used in the process of translating mRNA into protein. It is present as a domain of glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS) in almost all eukaryotes.[1]

Function

The YqeY domain has been found to be involved in the recognition of tRNA charged with the amino acid glutamine (tRNA-Gln).[1] In some cases YqeY also increases the affinity of GlnRS for tRNA-Gln, but only when present in cis (that is, as part of the GlnRS polypeptide chain). However, the presence of YqeY as a standalone domain in organisms without GlnRS suggests that YqeY domains may have additional cellular functions.[2]

Homology

This protein domain shares sequence homology with the C-terminal domain of GatB and GatE, the tRNA-binding subunits of bacterial and archaeal glutamine amidotransferases.[2]

gollark: ·· ······.

gollark: Yes, it was resolved perfectly well in our conference.

gollark: * for reasons, but ones which were somewhat bad

gollark: Well, our negotiation team managed to make it work.

gollark: You could come to sort of mutually agreeable solution.
