Comments

| FUNCTION | Catalyzes the attachment of L-methionine to tRNA(Met). Is 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=tRNA(Met) + L-methionine + ATP = L-methionyl-tRNA(Met) + AMP + diphosphate; 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; PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13482; |
| case <FTGroup:1> | |
| COFACTOR | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.; |
| end case | |
| case <Feature:PS50886> | |
| SUBUNIT | Homodimer. |
| end case | |
| case not <Feature:PS50886> and <OC:Bacteria> | |
| SUBUNIT | Monomer. |
| end case | |
| SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Cytoplasm. |
| SIMILARITY | Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. MetG type 1 subfamily. |
