| UniProt functional annotation for Q5SM16 | |||
| UniProt code: Q5SM16. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the 2'-O methylation of guanosine at position 18 in tRNA. Type I methylase, which methylates all tRNAs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11918670, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15062082, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20053984, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23867454}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=guanosine(18) in tRNA + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 2'-O- methylguanosine(18) in tRNA + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:20077, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10190, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10192, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:74269, ChEBI:CHEBI:74445; EC=2.1.1.34; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_02060, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11918670, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15062082, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20053984, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23867454}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=10 uM for S-adenosyl-L-methionine {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15062082}; Vmax=10 umol/h/mg enzyme {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15062082}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15062082}. | |
| Domain: | Both N- and C-terminal regions function in tRNA binding, but the substrate tRNA is determined by the catalytic domain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23867454}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Binding of TrmH to tRNA is composed of at least three steps: the first is bi-molecular binding and the subsequent two are uni-molecular induced-fit processes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20053984}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the class IV-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. RNA methyltransferase TrmH family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_02060, ECO:0000305}. | |
