UniProtKB - Q9P2J5 (SYLC_HUMAN)

Protein

Leucine--tRNA ligase, cytoplasmic

Gene

LARS

Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Status
Reviewed-Annotation score: -Experimental evidence at protein leveli

Functioni

Catalyzes the specific attachment of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA in a two step reaction: the amino acid (AA) is first activated by ATP to form AA-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of the tRNA. Exhibits a post-transfer editing activity to hydrolyze mischarged tRNAs.1 Publication

Catalytic activityi

ATP + L-leucine + tRNA(Leu) = AMP + diphosphate + L-leucyl-tRNA(Leu).

Activity regulationi

5-fluoro-1,3-dihydro-1-hydroxy-1,2-benzoxaborole inhibits LARS by forming a covalent adduct with the 3' adenosine of tRNA(Leu) at the editing site, thus locking the enzyme in an inactive conformation.
