IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 2.3.2.12

Names

Accepted name:
peptidyltransferase
Other names:
transpeptidase
ribosomal peptidyltransferase
Systematic name:
peptidyl-tRNA:aminoacyl-tRNA N-peptidyltransferase

Reaction

Comments:

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.
