2.3.2.21

Accepted name:

cyclo(L-tyrosyl-L-tyrosyl) synthase

Reaction:

2 L-tyrosyl-tRNA^Tyr = 2 tRNA^Tyr + cyclo(L-tyrosyl-L-tyrosyl)

Glossary:

cyclo(L-tyrosyl-L-tyrosyl) = (3S,6S)-3,6-bis[(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl]piperazine-2,5-dione

Other name(s):

Rv2275 (gene name); cYY synthase; cyclodityrosine synthase

Systematic name:

L-tyrosyl-tRNA^Tyr:L-tyrosyl-tRNA^Tyr tyrosyltransferase (cyclizing)

Comments:

The reaction proceeds following a ping-pong mechanism forming a covalent intermediate between an active site serine and the first L-tyrosine residue [2]. The protein, from the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, also forms small amounts of cyclo(L-tyrosyl-L-phenylalanyl) [1].
