- | + | Pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthase (PylRS) is a protein found in anaerobic archaea and bacteria. PylRS facilitates the installation of pyrrolysine. It binds to the pyrrolysine substrate. This protein has two functional domains. It has a C-terminus, which is the catalytic domain (PylSc) and has a Rossmann fold, which is a tertiary fold that binds to nucleotides. The other functional domain is the N-terminus that does the tRNA binding (PylSn). These two functional domains can work together to install two noncanonical amino acids at the same time. | |
