Comments [?]

Function Catalyzes the attachment of isoleucine to tRNA(Ile). As IleRS can inadvertently accommodate and process structurally similar amino acids such as valine, to avoid such errors it has two additional distinct tRNA(Ile)-dependent editing activities. One activity is designated as 'pretransfer' editing and involves the hydrolysis of activated Val-AMP. The other activity is designated 'posttransfer' editing and involves deacylation of mischarged Val-tRNA(Ile).
Catalytic activity RHEA:11060: ATP + L-isoleucine + tRNA(Ile) = AMP + diphosphate + L-isoleucyl-tRNA(Ile)
EC 6.1.1.5
Cofactor Zn(2+)
Subunit Monomer.
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
Domain IleRS has two distinct active sites: one for aminoacylation and one for editing. The misactivated valine is translocated from the active site to the editing site, which sterically excludes the correctly activated isoleucine. The single editing site contains two valyl binding pockets, one specific for each substrate (Val-AMP or Val-tRNA(Ile)).
Similarity Belongs to the class-I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. IleS type 2 subfamily.

Comments Some species have a second copy of IleRS in another subfamily (MF_02002). MYCTU, PSEFL and STAAU confer high-level resistance to the antibiotic mupirocin (pseudomonic acid A), an Ile-analog that competitively inhibits activation by Ile-tRNA synthetase, thus inhibiting protein biosynthesis. Shorter N-terminal in SACS2; sequence not included in alignment and not taken into account in size range.
