EC 2.1.1.219     
Accepted name: tRNA (adenine57-N1/adenine58-N1)-methyltransferase
Reaction: 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + adenine57/adenine58 in tRNA = 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N1-methyladenine57/N1-methyladenine58 in tRNA
Other name(s): TrmI; PabTrmI; AqTrmI; MtTrmI
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (adenine57/adenine58-N1)-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme catalyses the formation of N1-methyladenine at two adjacent positions (57 and 58) in the T-loop of certain tRNAs (e.g. tRNAAsp). Methyladenosine at position 57 is an obligatory intermediate for the synthesis of methylinosine, which is commonly found at position 57 of archaeal tRNAs.
