Type: | Family | Name: | MiaB-like tRNA modifying enzyme |
Description: | This clade of sequences is closely related to MiaB, a modifier of isopentenylated adenosine-37 of certain eukaryotic and bacterial tRNAs (see ). Sequence alignments suggest that these sequences perform the same chemical transformation as MiaB, perhaps on a different (or differently modified) tRNA base substrate. This clade represents a subfamily that spans low GC Gram-positive bacteria, alpha and epsilon proteobacteria, Campylobacter, Porphyromonas, Aquifex, Thermotoga, Chlamydia, Treponema and Fusobacterium [, , ]. | Short Name: | MiaB-like_C |
