Tyrosine--tRNA ligase

BE0002031ProteinEscherichia coli (strain K12)tyrS

Catalyzes the attachment of L-tyrosine to tRNA(Tyr) in a two-step reaction: tyrosine is first activated by ATP to form Tyr-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Tyr) (PubMed:4292198, PubMed:4579631). It is acted on by 2 drugs in DrugBank.
