6.1.1.16 | ATP + L-cysteine + tRNACys = AMP + diphosphate + L-cysteinyl-tRNACys |
the class I tRNA synthetase CysRS is rate-limited by release of aminoacyl-tRNA, class I synthetases share two signature motifs, HIGH and KMSKS, and build their active site by the ubiquitous Rossmann nucleotide-binding fold, the tight aminoacyl-tRNA product binding by class I enzymes correlates with the ability of EF-Tu to form a ternary complex with class I but not class II synthetases, and the further capacity of this protein to enhance the rate of aminoacylation by class I synthetases |
