Arp1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_05017 (Arp1) on chromosome 3 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes an amidase domain-containing protein with glutaminyl-tRNA synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activity, amidase activity, lyase activity, and ATP binding. It is associated with glutaminyl-tRNAGln biosynthesis via transamidation, pigmentation, melanin anabolism, and mitochondrial translation. The product localizes to the glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) amidotransferase complex and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to the enzyme classes 6.3.5.7, 3.5.1.4, and 4.2.1.-, and to the proteins Glu-AdT subunit A and AMD2.
