In enzymology, a cysteine-tRNA ligase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :ATP + L-cysteine + tRNACys AMP + diphosphate + L-cysteinyl-tRNACys The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, L-cysteine, and tRNA(Cys), whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and L-cysteinyl-tRNA(Cys). This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, to be specific those forming carbon-oxygen bonds in aminoacyl-tRNA and related compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-cysteine:tRNACys ligase (AMP-forming). Other names in common use include cysteinyl-tRNA synthetase, cysteinyl-transferRNA synthetase, cysteinyl-transfer ribonucleate synthetase, and cysteine translase. This enzyme participates in cysteine metabolism and aminoacyl-trna biosynthesis. ==Structural studies== As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes , , and . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cysteine—tRNA ligase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
