EC 2.8.4.5     
Accepted name: tRNA (N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenosine37-C2)-methylthiotransferase
Reaction: N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenine37 in tRNA + sulfur-(sulfur carrier) + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + reduced electron acceptor = 2-(methylsulfanyl)-N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenine37 in tRNA + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + (sulfur carrier) + L-methionine + 5′-deoxyadenosine + electron acceptor (overall reaction)
(1a) N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenine37 in tRNA + sulfur-(sulfur carrier) + S-adenosyl-L-methionine + reduced electron acceptor = 2-sulfanyl-N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenine37 in tRNA + (sulfur carrier) + L-methionine + 5′-deoxyadenosine + electron acceptor
(1b) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 2-sulfanyl-N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenine37 in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2-(methylsulfanyl)-N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenine37 in tRNA

Glossary: N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenine37 = t6A37
2-sulfanyl-N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenine37 = ms2t6A37
Other name(s): MtaB; methylthio-threonylcarbamoyl-adenosine transferase B; CDKAL1 (gene name); tRNA (N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenosine37):sulfur-(sulfur carrier),S-adenosyl-L-methionine C2-methylthiotransferase
Systematic name: tRNA (N6-L-threonylcarbamoyladenosine37):sulfur-(sulfur carrier),S-adenosyl-L-methionine C2-(methylsulfanyl)transferase
Comments: The enzyme, which is a member of the S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent radical (radical AdoMet) enzymes superfamily, binds two [4Fe-4S] clusters as well as the transferred sulfur. The sulfur donor is believed to be one of the [4Fe-4S] clusters, which is sacrificed in the process, so that in vitro the reaction is a single turnover. The identity of the electron donor is not known.
