2.3.2.8 |
| Accepted name: |
arginyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
L-arginyl-tRNAArg + protein = tRNAArg + L-arginyl-[protein] |
| Other name(s): |
arginine transferase; arginyl-transfer ribonucleate-protein aminoacyltransferase; arginyl-transfer ribonucleate-protein transferase; arginyl-tRNA protein transferase; L-arginyl-tRNA:protein arginyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
L-arginyl-tRNAArg:protein arginyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Requires 2-sulfanylethan-1-ol (2-mercaptoethanol) and a univalent cation. Peptides and proteins containing an N-terminal glutamate, aspartate or cystine residue can act as acceptors. |
