KEGG   ENZYME: 6.1.1.26
Entry
EC 6.1.1.26                 Enzyme                                 
Name
pyrrolysine---tRNAPyl ligase;
PylS;
pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase
Class
Ligases;
Forming carbon-oxygen bonds;
Ligases forming aminoacyl-tRNA and related compounds
Sysname
L-pyrrolysine:tRNAPyl ligase (AMP-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
ATP + L-pyrrolysine + tRNAPyl = AMP + diphosphate + L-pyrrolysyl-tRNAPyl [RN:R08578]
Reaction(KEGG)
R08578
Substrate
ATP [CPD:C00002];
L-pyrrolysine [CPD:C16138];
tRNA(Pyl) [CPD:C16139]
Product
AMP [CPD:C00020];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013];
L-pyrrolysyl-tRNA(Pyl) [CPD:C17027]
Comment
In organisms such as Methanosarcina barkeri that incorporate the modified amino acid pyrrolysine (Pyl) into certain methylamine methyltransferases, an unusual tRNAPyl, with a CUA anticodon, can be charged directly with pyrrolysine by this class II aminoacyl---tRNA ligase. The enzyme is specific for pyrrolysine as substrate as it cannot be replaced by lysine or any of the other natural amino acids [1].
