Function
- allows formation of correctly charged Gln-tRNA(Gln) through the transamidation of misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln) in the mitochondria
- the reaction takes place in the presence of glutamine & ATP through an activated gamma-phospho-Glu- tRNA(Gln)
- subunit of the gatCAB amidotransferase (AdT) complex
Structure
belongs to the gatB/gatE family, gatB subfamily
Compartment
Expression
- predominantly expressed in tissues characterized by high rates of oxidative phosphorylation, including muscle & heart
