EC 3.5.4.34     
Accepted name: tRNAAla(adenine37) deaminase
Reaction: adenine37 in tRNAAla + H2O = hypoxanthine37 in tRNAAla + NH3
Other name(s): ADAT1; Tad1p
Systematic name: tRNAAla(adenine37) aminohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme deaminates adenosine37 to inosine in eukaryotic tRNAAla [1]. tRNA editing is strictly dependent on Mg2+ [2].
