| Accepted name: | L-tryptophan—[L-tryptophyl-carrier protein] ligase | ||
| Reaction: | ATP + L-tryptophan + holo-[L-tryptophyl-carrier protein] = AMP + diphosphate + -L-tryptophyl-[L-tryptophyl-carrier protein] (overall reaction) (1a) ATP + tryptophan = diphosphate + (L-tryptophyl)adenylate (1b) (L-tryptophyl)adenylate + holo-[L-tryptophyl-carrier protein] = AMP + L-tryptophyl-[L-tryptophyl-carrier protein] |

| Other name(s): | ecm13 (gene name); swb11 (gene name) | ||
| Systematic name: | L-tryptophan:[L-tryptophyl-carrier protein] ligase (AMP-forming) | ||
| Comments: | The adenylation domain of the enzyme catalyses the activation of L-tryptophan to (L-tryptophyl)adenylate, followed by the transfer of the activated compound to the free thiol of a phosphopantetheine arm of a peptidyl-carrier protein domain. The peptidyl-carrier protein domain may be part of the same protein, or of a different protein. This activity is often found as part of a larger non-ribosomal peptide synthase. | ||
