Function
SYYC_YEAST Catalyzes the attachment of tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr) in a two-step reaction: tyrosine is first activated by ATP to form Tyr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Tyr). The specificity determinants on tRNA(Tyr) are the base pair C1-G72, the discriminator residue A73, and the three anticodon bases G34, U35 and A36. Also involved in nuclear tRNA export.[1] [2]
