GO Classification
Functions
  • leucine-tRNA ligase activity
  • aminoacyl-tRNA editing activity
  • ATP binding
Processes
  • leucyl-tRNA aminoacylation
  • gene expression
  • tRNA aminoacylation for protein translation
Components
  • cytosol
  • cytoplasm
  • nucleus
General FunctionLeucine-trna ligase activity
Specific FunctionCatalyzes the specific attachment of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA in a two step reaction: the amino acid (AA) is first activated by ATP to form AA-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of the tRNA. Exhibits a post-transfer editing activity to hydrolyze mischarged tRNAs.
