BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
peptidyl-tRNA:aminoacyl-tRNA N-peptidyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
peptidyl-tRNA1 + aminoacyl-tRNA2 = tRNA1 + peptidyl(aminoacyl-tRNA2) [RN:
R04685 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
peptidyl-tRNA1;
aminoacyl-tRNA2
Product
tRNA1;
peptidyl(aminoacyl-tRNA2)
Comment
The enzyme is a ribozyme. Two non-equivlant ribonucleoprotein subunits operate in non-concerted fashion in peptide elongation. The small subunit forms the mRNA-binding machinery and decoding center, the large subunit performs the main ribosomal catalytic function in the peptidyl-transferase center.
