isoleucine--tRNA ligase
isoleucine--tRNA ligase catalyzes the attachment of isoleucine to tRNA(Ile)
The isoleucyl tRNA synthetase (IleS) is a class I amino acyl-tRNA ligase and is particularly closely related to the valyl tRNA synthetase. It catalyzes the formation of isoleucyl-tRNA(Ile) from isoleucine and tRNA(Ile). Since isoleucine and other amino acids such as valine are similar, there is additional editing function in this enzyme; one is involved in hydrolysis of activated valine-AMP and the other is involved in deacylation of mischarged Val-tRNA(Ile). There are two active sites, one for aminoacylation and one for editing. Some organisms carry two different copies of this enzyme
