EC 1.17.99.6 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.17.99.6

Accepted name

epoxyqueuosine reductase

Reaction

queuosine³⁴ in tRNA + acceptor + H₂O = epoxyqueuosine³⁴ in tRNA + reduced acceptor

Other name(s)

oQ reductase, queG (gene name), queH (gene name)

Systematic name

queuosine³⁴ in tRNA:acceptor oxidoreductase

Comment

This enzyme catalyses the last step in the bacterial biosynthetic pathway to queuosine, the modified guanosine base in the wobble position in tRNAs specific for Tyr, His, Asp or Asn. Two types of enzymes are known to catalyse this activity. QueG enzymes are cobalamin-dependent, while QueH enzymes contain a [4Fe-4S] metallocluster along with an adjacent coordinated iron metal.
