The N-terminal GST-like domain of P. berghei cytosolic glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (QRS-N). The construction displays a glycine insertion after the first methionine derived from the cloning restriction site. Additional residues at the C-terminus resulted from the cleavage of the 6xHis tag. QRS-N in the Q-complex is present in two copies, each one associated to a monomer of ERS-N
