TRNAIle-lysidine synthase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

tRNAIle-lysidine synthase (EC 6.3.4.19, TilS, mesJ (gene), yacA (gene), isoleucine-specific transfer ribonucleate lysidine synthetase, tRNAIle-lysidine synthetase) is an enzyme with systematic name L-lysine:tRNAIle2–cytidine34 ligase (AMP-forming).[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

tRNAIle2-cytidine34 + L-lysine + ATP tRNAIle2-lysidine34 + AMP + diphosphate + H2O

The bacterial enzyme modifies the wobble base of the CAU anticodon of tRNAIle at the oxo group in position 2 of cytidine34.
