CC   -!- FUNCTION: Is required not only for elongation of protein synthesis but
CC       also for the initiation of all mRNA translation through initiator
CC       tRNA(fMet) aminoacylation.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=ATP + L-methionine + tRNA(Met) = AMP + diphosphate + L-
CC         methionyl-tRNA(Met); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13481, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9667,
