摘要：

The complete genomic sequencing of Methanacoccus jannaschii cannot identify the gene for the cysteine-specific member of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. However, we show here that enzyme activity is present in the cell lysate of M. jannaschii. The demonstration of this activity suggests a direct pathway for the synthesis of cysteinyl-tRNA(CyS) during protein synthesis.
