| Type: | Family | Name: | tRNA (cmo5U34)-methyltransferase |
| Description: | This entry represents a set of bacterial AdoMet-dependent tRNA (cmo5U34)-methyltransferases. These enzymes catalyse the conversion of 5-methoxyuridine (mo5U) to uridine-5-oxyacetic acid (cmo5U) at the wobble position (34) of tRNA []. Uridine-5-oxyacetic acid at tRNA position 34 is apparently necessary for the efficient decoding of G-ending Pro, Ala, and Val codons in these organisms []. These enzymes may also participate in the methylation of uridine-5-oxyacetic acid to uridine-5-oxyacetic acid methyl ester (mcmo5U). | Short Name: | tRNA_cmo5U34_MeTrfase |
