Protein
Lysine--tRNA ligase
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Catalyzes the specific attachment of an amino acid to its cognate tRNA in a 2 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.
Similarity
Belongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family.
