Sysname
L-leucyl-tRNALeu:L-leucyl-tRNALeu leucyltransferase (cyclizing)
Reaction(IUBMB)
2 L-leucyl-tRNALeu = 2 tRNALeu + cyclo(L-leucyl-L-leucyl) [RN:
R10336 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
L-leucyl-tRNA(Leu) [CPD:
C02047 ]
Product
tRNA(Leu) [CPD:
C01645 ];
cyclo(L-leucyl-L-leucyl) [CPD:
C20514 ]
Comment
The reaction proceeds following a ping-pong mechanism forming a covalent intermediate between an active site serine and the first L-leucine residue [2]. The proteins from bacteria of the genus Bacillus also form small amounts of cyclo(L-phenylalanyl-L-leucyl) and cyclo(L-leucyl-L-methionyl) [1].
