EC 2.3.1.193     
Accepted name: tRNAMet cytidine acetyltransferase
Reaction: [elongator tRNAMet]-cytidine34 + ATP + acetyl-CoA + H2O = CoA + [elongator tRNAMet]-N4-acetylcytidine34 + ADP + phosphate
Other name(s): YpfI; TmcA
Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:[elongator tRNAMet]-cytidine34 N4-acetyltransferase (ATP-hydrolysing)
Comments: The enzyme acetylates the wobble base cytidine34 of the CAU anticodon of elongation-specific tRNAMet. Escherichia coli TmcA strictly discriminates elongator tRNAMet from tRNAIle, which is structurally similar and has the same anticodon loop, mainly by recognizing the C27-G43 pair in the anticodon stem. The enzyme can use GTP in place of ATP for formation of N4-acetylcytidine [1].
