EC 6.3.4.19     
Accepted name: tRNAIle-lysidine synthase
Reaction: [tRNAIle2]-cytidine34 + L-lysine + ATP = [tRNAIle2]-lysidine34 + AMP + diphosphate + H2O
Glossary: lysidine = N6-(4-amino-1-β-D-ribofuranosylpyrimidin-2-ylidene)-L-lysine
Other name(s): TilS; mesJ (gene name); yacA (gene name); isoleucine-specific transfer ribonucleate lysidine synthetase; tRNAIle-lysidine synthetase
Systematic name: L-lysine:[tRNAIle2]-cytidine34 ligase (AMP-forming)
Comments: The bacterial enzyme modifies the wobble base of the CAU anticodon of tRNAIle at the oxo group in position 2 of cytidine34. This modification determines both codon and amino acid specificities of tRNAIle.
