Unlike this enzyme, EC 2.1.1.74 (methylenetetrahydrofolate---tRNA-(uracil54-C5)-methyltransferase (FADH2-oxidizing)), uses 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate and FADH2 to supply the atoms for methylation of U54 .
Unlike this enzyme, EC 2.1.1.74 (methylenetetrahydrofolate---tRNA-(uracil54-C5)-methyltransferase (FADH2-oxidizing)), uses 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate and FADH2 to supply the atoms for methylation of U54 [4].
the enzyme purified under aerobic conditions is specific for tRNA but not rRNA, and specifically modifies the U54 position in the T-C loop of yeast tRNAAsp. A tRNA lacking both the D and anticodon stem-loops is recognized by PabTrmU54
The adenine ring of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine makes van der Waals and hydrophobic interactions with residues S300 and Y278. The sugar ring of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine stacks on P342 whereas its two oxygen atoms form H-bonds with the carboxylate group of D299. The terminal carboxylate of the homocysteine moiety is hydrogen bonded to the hydroxyl group of T283 and the amide side chain of Q252
