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}.
