EC 2.1.1.200     
Accepted name: tRNA (cytidine32/uridine32-2′-O)-methyltransferase
Reaction: (1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytidine32 in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2′-O-methylcytidine32 in tRNA
(2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uridine32 in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2′-O-methyluridine32 in tRNA
Other name(s): YfhQ; tRNA:Cm32/Um32 methyltransferase; TrMet(Xm32); TrmJ
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (cytidine32/uridine32-2′-O)-methyltransferase
Comments: In Escherichia coli YfhQ is the only methyltransferase responsible for the formation of 2′-O-methylcytidine32 in tRNA. No methylation of cytosine34 in tRNALeu(CAA). In vitro the enzyme 2-O-methylates cytidine32 of tRNASer1 and uridine32 of tRNAGln2.
