Accession MF_01228
Dates 30-OCT-2002 (Created)
25-NOV-2009 (Last updated, Version 28)
Data class Protein
Names Met_tRNA_synth_type2



Identifier SYM
Protein name
RecName: Full=Methionyl-tRNA synthetase;
EC=6.1.1.10;
AltName: Full=Methionine--tRNA ligase;
Short=MetRS;
Gene name metG
FUNCTION: Is required not only for elongation of protein synthesis but also for the initiation of all mRNA translation through initiator tRNA(fMet) aminoacylation (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + L-methionine + tRNA(Met) = AMP + diphosphate + L-methionyl-tRNA(Met).
