<scene name='78/786656/Total/1'>Leucyl tRNA synthetase (LARS)</scene> is a 97 kDa, class IA aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) that catalyzes the ligation of leucine with tRNA<sup>leu</sup> in an ATP dependent mechanism. LARS is a cytoplasmic enzyme that is found as part of the multisynthetase complex in eukaryotes<ref>doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-46503-6_18</ref>. The multi-synthetase complex contains glutamylprolyl-tRNA synthetase (EPRS), isoleucyl (IARS), leucyl (LARS), glutaminyl (GARS), methionyl (MARS), lysyl (KARS), arginyl (RARS), and aspartyl (DARS) tRNA synthetases as well as p18, p38 and p43<ref>doi: 10.1016/S0006-291X(03)00485-6</ref>.

ARS are essential to all life as they charge amino acids onto cognate tRNAs in preparation for protein translation. This is step is a potential source of error in interpreting the genetic code as mischarged tRNAs will not be recognized during protein synthesis and could lead to nonfunctional proteins. As such, ARS have a high specificity for both tRNA and amino acids and contain an editing domain capable of hydrolyzing mischarged tRNA.

Multisynthetase complexes have also been seen in some archaea such as ''Thermococcus kodakarensis'' although the composition of the complex is not the same as eukaryotes<ref>doi: 10.1016/j.febslet.2012.05.039</ref>.

First, ATP and leucine are bound and AMP is transfered to the backbone carboxylic acid of leucine with the release of a pyrophosphate. Second, tRNA<sup>leu</sup> is bound with the leucyl adenylate and leucine is transfered to either the 2' or 3' OH of the 3' terminal adenine with the release of AMP.

LARS, like all class I synthetases, is characterized by a Rossmann-fold catalytic domain with a central parallel β-sheet with α-helices on both faces. The active site catalyzes both the formation of the leucyl adenylate intermediate and the subsequent charging of leucine onto the terminal acceptor arm of the tRNA.
