- Leucyltransferase
In
enzymology , a leucyltransferase (EC number|2.3.2.6) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :L-leucyl-tRNA + protein tRNA + L-leucyl-protein
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
L-leucyl-tRNA andprotein , whereas its two products aretRNA andL-leucyl-protein .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically theaminoacyltransferase s. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-leucyl-tRNA:protein leucyltransferase. Other names in common use include leucyl, phenylalanine-tRNA-protein transferase, leucyl-phenylalanine-transfer ribonucleate-protein, aminoacyltransferase, and leucyl-phenylalanine-transfer ribonucleate-protein transferase.tructural studies
As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB link|2CXA, PDB link|2DPS, and PDB link|2DPT.
