EC 6.1.1.10     
Accepted name: methionine—tRNA ligase
Reaction: ATP + L-methionine + tRNAMet = AMP + diphosphate + L-methionyl-tRNAMet
Other name(s): methionyl-tRNA synthetase; methionyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase; methionyl-transfer ribonucleate synthetase; methionyl-transfer RNA synthetase; methionine translase; MetRS
Systematic name: L-methionine:tRNAMet ligase (AMP-forming)
Comments: In those organisms producing N-formylmethionyl-tRNAfMet for translation initiation, this enzyme also recognizes the initiator tRNAfMet and catalyses the formation of L-methionyl-tRNAfMet, the substrate for EC 2.1.2.9, methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase.
