In enzymology, a tyrosine-arginine ligase (EC 6.3.2.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + L-tyrosine + L-arginine AMP + diphosphate + L-tyrosyl-L-arginine
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, L-tyrosine, and L-arginine, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and L-tyrosyl-L-arginine.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-tyrosine:L-arginine ligase (AMP-forming). Other names in common use include tyrosyl-arginine synthase, kyotorphin synthase, kyotorphin-synthesizing enzyme, and kyotorphin synthetase.
