Pyrrolysine—tRNAPyl ligase (EC 6.1.1.26, PylS, pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase) is an enzyme with systematic name L-pyrrolysine:tRNAPyl ligase (AMP-forming).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- ATP + L-pyrrolysine + tRNAPyl [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] AMP + diphosphate + L-pyrrolysyl-tRNAPyl
This enzyme is specific for pyrrolysine as substrate as it cannot be replaced by lysine or any of the other natural amino acids.
