UniProtKB description: With EpmB is involved in the beta-lysylation step of the post-translational modification of translation elongation factor P (EF-P) on 'Lys-34'. Catalyzes the ATP-dependent activation of (R)-beta-lysine produced by EpmB, forming a lysyl-adenylate, from which the beta-lysyl moiety is then transferred to the epsilon-amino group of EF-P 'Lys-34'. The substrate (R)-beta-lysine is 100-fold more efficient than either (S)-beta-lysine or L-alpha-lysine. Cannot ligate lysine to any tRNA.
