2.1.1.229

Accepted name:

tRNA (carboxymethyluridine³⁴-5-O)-methyltransferase

Reaction:

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + carboxymethyluridine³⁴ in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)uridine³⁴ in tRNA

Glossary:

5-methoxycarboxymethyluridine = 5-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)uridine

Other name(s):

ALKBH8; ABH8; Trm9; tRNA methyltransferase 9

Systematic name:

S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (carboxymethyluridine³⁴-5-O)-methyltransferase

Comments:

The enzyme catalyses the posttranslational modification of uridine residues at the wobble position 34 of the anticodon loop of tRNA.
