The TGS domain is named after ThrRS, GTPase, and SpoT [1]. Interestingly, TGS domain was detected also at the amino terminus of the uridine kinase from the spirochaete Treponema pallidum (but not any other organism, including the related spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi). TGS is a small domain that consists of ~50 amino acid residues and is predicted to possess a predominantly beta-sheet structure. There is no direct information on the functions of the TGS domain, but its presence in two types of regulatory proteins (the GTPases and guanosine polyphosphate phosphohydrolases/synthetases) suggests a ligand (most likely nucleotide)-binding, regulatory role [1].

The catalytically active from of threonyl/alanyl tRNA synthetase is a dimer. Within the tRNA synthetase class II dimer, the bound tRNA interacts with both monomers making specific interactions with the catalytic domain, the C-terminal domain, and this domain (the second additional domain). The second additional domain is comprised of a pair of perpendicularly orientated antiparallel beta sheets, of four and three strands, respectively, that surround a central alpha helix that forms the core of the domain [1].
