The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) are a large group of enzymes that implement the genetic code in all known biological systems. They attach amino acids to their cognate tRNAs, moonlight in various translational and non-translational activities beyond aminoacylation, and are linked to many genetic disorders. The aaRS have a subtle ontology characterized by structural and functional idiosyncrasies that vary from organism to organism, and protein to protein. Across the tree of life, the 22 coded amino acids are handled by 16 evolutionary families of Class I aaRS and 21 families of Class II aaRS. We introduce AARS Online, an interactive Wikipedia-like tool curated by an international consortium of field experts. This platform systematizes existing knowledge about the aaRS by showcasing a taxonomically diverse selection of aaRS sequences and structures. Through its graphical user interface, AARS Online facilitates a seamless exploration between protein sequence and structure, providing a friendly introduction to the material for non-experts and a useful resource for experts. Curated multiple sequence alignments can be extracted for downstream analyses. Accessible at www.aars.online, AARS Online is a free resource to delve into the world of the aaRS.
氨酰-tRNA 合成酶(aaRS)是一大类酶,它们在所有已知的生物系统中实现遗传密码。它们将氨基酸连接到其对应的 tRNA 上,除了氨酰化之外,还在各种翻译和非翻译活性中发挥作用,并与许多遗传疾病有关。aaRS 的本体论很微妙,其结构和功能特征因生物体和蛋白质的不同而有所不同。在生命之树上,22 种编码氨基酸由 16 个进化的 I 类 aaRS 家族和 21 个 II 类 aaRS 家族处理。我们引入了 AARS Online,这是一个由国际领域专家联盟策划的互动式维基百科工具。该平台通过展示具有分类多样性的 aaRS 序列和结构,系统地展示了 aaRS 的现有知识。通过其图形用户界面,AARS Online 实现了蛋白质序列和结构之间的无缝探索,为非专家提供了一个友好的入门材料,为专家提供了一个有用的资源。可以提取经过策展的多重序列比对,用于下游分析。可在 www.aars.online 访问,AARS Online 是一个免费资源,可以深入了解 aaRS 的世界。
