"CARS (cytosolic cysteinyl tRNA synthetase) catalyzes the reaction of cysteine, tRNA(cys), and ATP to form Cys-tRNA(Cys), AMP, and pyrophosphate. The enzyme, a class I tRNA synthetase, is a homomultimer, probably a dimer (Davidson et al. 2001)."^^ . . . . . . "cysteine + tRNA(Cys) + ATP => Cys-tRNA(Cys) + AMP + pyrophosphate"^^ .
