EC 2.4.2.29 Details
EC number
2.4.2.29
Accepted name
tRNA-guanosine34 preQ1 transglycosylase
Reaction
guanine34 in tRNA + 7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine = 7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine34 in tRNA + guanine
Other name(s)
guanine insertion enzyme (ambiguous), tRNA transglycosylase (ambiguous), Q-insertase (ambiguous), transfer ribonucleate glycosyltransferase (ambiguous), tRNA guanine34 transglycosidase (ambiguous), TGT (ambiguous), transfer ribonucleic acid guanine34 transglycosylase (ambiguous)
Systematic name
tRNA-guanosine34:7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanine tRNA-D-ribosyltransferase
CAS registry number
72162-89-1
Comment
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.
