Possible ATPase involved in DNA replication, may facilitate loading of CDC45 onto pre-replication complexes . ; An aminoacyl-tRNA editing enzyme that deacylates mischarged D-aminoacyl-tRNAs. Also deacylates mischarged glycyl-tRNA(Ala), protecting cells against glycine mischarging by AlaRS. Acts via tRNA-based rather than protein-based catalysis; rejects L-amino acids rather than detecting D-amino acids in the active site. By recycling D-aminoacyl-tRNA to D-amino acids and free tRNA molecules, this enzyme counteracts the toxicity associated with the formation of D-aminoacyl-tRNA entities in vivo and helps enforce protein L-homochirality.
Nucleus . Cytoplasm . Associated with chromatin at some replication origins containing functional DNA-unwinding elements (PubMed:20065034).
Expressed in many adult and fetal tissues. Highest levels in testis, ovary, spleen and in adult and fetal brain.
