Other name(s): |
YkvM; QueF; preQ0 reductase; preQ0 oxidoreductase; 7-cyano-7-deazaguanine reductase; queuine synthase (incorrect as queuine is not the product); queuine:NADP+ oxidoreductase (incorrect as queuine is not the product) |
Systematic name: |
7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine:NADP+ oxidoreductase |
Comments: |
The reaction occurs in the reverse direction. This enzyme catalyses one of the early steps in the synthesis of queuosine (Q-tRNA), and is followed by the action of EC 2.4.2.29, tRNA-guanosine34 transglycosylase. Queuosine is found in the wobble position of tRNAGUN in Eukarya and Bacteria [2] and is thought to be involved in translational modulation. The enzyme is not a GTP cyclohydrolase, as was thought previously based on sequence-homology studies. |

Systematic name: |
tRNA-guanosine34:7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanine tRNA-D-ribosyltransferase |
Comments: |
Certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic tRNAs contain the modified base queuine at position 34. In eubacteria, which produce queuine de novo, the enzyme catalyses the exchange of guanine with the queuine precursor preQ1, which is ultimately modified to queuosine [5]. The enzyme can also use an earlier intermediate, preQ0, to replace guanine in unmodified tRNATyr and tRNAAsn [1]. This enzyme acts after EC 1.7.1.13, preQ1 synthase, in the queuine-biosynthesis pathway. cf. EC 2.4.2.64, tRNA-guanosine34 queuine transglycosylase. |
