Comments [?]

FUNCTIONIs required not only for elongation of protein synthesis but also for the initiation of all mRNA translation through initiator tRNA(fMet) aminoacylation.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=ATP + L-methionine + tRNA(Met) = AMP + diphosphate + L- methionyl-tRNA(Met); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13481, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9667, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9698, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:57844, ChEBI:CHEBI:78442, ChEBI:CHEBI:78530, ChEBI:CHEBI:456215; EC=6.1.1.10;
case <FTGroup:1>
COFACTOR Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.;
end case
case <Feature:PS50886>

end case
case not <Feature:PS50886> and <OC:Bacteria>
SUBUNITMonomer.
end case
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. MetG type 1 subfamily.
