Enables arginyl-tRNA--protein transferase activity. Involved in protein arginylation. Located in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human ATE1 (arginyltransferase 1).
SGD Description
Arginyl-tRNA-protein transferase; catalyzes post-translational conjugation of arginine to the amino termini of acceptor proteins which are then subject to degradation via the N-end rule pathway; may have a role in regulating stress response
