EC 2.3.2.12 Details
EC number
2.3.2.12
Accepted name
peptidyltransferase
Reaction
peptidyl-tRNA1 + aminoacyl-tRNA2 = tRNA1 + peptidyl(aminoacyl-tRNA2)
Other name(s)
transpeptidase, ribosomal peptidyltransferase
Systematic name
peptidyl-tRNA:aminoacyl-tRNA N-peptidyltransferase
CAS registry number
9059-29-4
Comment
The enzyme is a ribozyme. Two non-equivlant ribonucleoprotein subunits operate in non-concerted fashion in peptide elongation. The small subunit forms the mRNA-binding machinery and decoding center, the large subunit performs the main ribosomal catalytic function in the peptidyl-transferase center.
