Gene Description

DARS2 is the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial aspartate-tRNA ligase. It activates aspartate with ATP and transfers it to mitochondrial tRNA(Asp), supporting synthesis of mitochondrially encoded respiratory-chain proteins. The enzyme forms a homodimer and contains an N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence. The selected protein sequence has an internal or terminal difference from the characterized human protein, so its precise activity and regulation remain to be established.

GO:0000166 nucleotide binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: nucleotide binding: This is a broad compatible binding or cellular-compartment annotation; the core function is ATP-dependent mitochondrial tRNA(Asp) aminoacylation. Cytoplasm does not mean specifically cytosol and need not exclude mitochondria.
Reason: This is a broad compatible binding or cellular-compartment annotation; the core function is ATP-dependent mitochondrial tRNA(Asp) aminoacylation. Cytoplasm does not mean specifically cytosol and need not exclude mitochondria.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:15779907
Both belong to the expected class of synthetases, have a dimeric organization, and aminoacylate Escherichia coli tRNAs as well as in vitro transcribed human mitochondrial tRNAs.

Summary: aminoacyl-tRNA ligase activity: The broad ligase activity is correct, but the experimentally established aspartate-tRNA ligase activity identifies both the amino acid and substrate class.

GO:0005524 ATP binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: ATP binding: Human DARS2 is a dimeric mitochondrial aspartate-tRNA synthetase, with direct aminoacylation and structural evidence. Binding ATP and tRNA and producing charged mitochondrial tRNA(Asp) are parts of this core reaction; mitochondrial localization is independently supported. Transfer to horse is an inference; the paired-sequence report records model-specific gaps and limits.
