EC 2.1.1.228     
Accepted name: tRNA (guanine37-N1)-methyltransferase
Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanine37 in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N1-methylguanine37 in tRNA

Other name(s): TrmD; tRNA (m1G37) methyltransferase; transfer RNA (m1G37) methyltransferase; Trm5p; TRMT5; tRNA-(N1G37) methyltransferase; MJ0883 (gene name)
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (guanine37-N1)-methyltransferase
Comments: This enzyme is important for the maintenance of the correct reading frame during translation. Unlike TrmD from Escherichia coli, which recognizes the G36pG37 motif preferentially, the human enzyme (encoded by TRMT5) also methylates inosine at position 37 [4].
