In organisms such as Methanosarcina barkeri that incorporate the modified amino acid pyrrolysine (Pyl) into certain methylamine methyltransferases, an unusual tRNAPyl, with a CUA anticodon, can be charged directly with pyrrolysine by this class II aminoacyl---tRNA ligase. The enzyme is specific for pyrrolysine as substrate as it cannot be replaced by lysine or any of the other natural amino acids .

L-pyrrolysine:tRNAPyl ligase (AMP-forming)
In organisms such as Methanosarcina barkeri that incorporate the modified amino acid pyrrolysine (Pyl) into certain methylamine methyltransferases, an unusual tRNAPyl, with a CUA anticodon, can be charged directly with pyrrolysine by this class II aminoacyl---tRNA ligase. The enzyme is specific for pyrrolysine as substrate as it cannot be replaced by lysine or any of the other natural amino acids [1].

LITERATURE
evolution
sequence alignment indicated that full-length PylRS contains a C-terminal class II AARS catalytic core and an N-terminal domain that apparently does not share sequence homology with any structurally known protein domains. The three dimensional organization of the PylRS catalytic core resembles that of other synthetases from the Class II AARS family
physiological function
the genetic incorporation of the 22nd proteinogenic amino acid, pyrolysine (Pyl) at amber codon is achieved by the action of pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) together with its cognate tRNAPyl
additional information
along with its special CUA anticodon for the recognition of amber codon, the pylT transcript, tRNAPyl, has a distinct anticodon stem of six base pairs instead of five base pairs as observed in most tRNAs, a single base between D and anticodon stems, a single base between D and acceptor stems, and a three-base small variable arm
