S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNAPhe {7-[(3S)-3-amino-3-carboxypropyl]wyosine37-O}-methyltransferase
The enzyme is found only in eukaryotes, where it is involved in the biosynthesis of wybutosine, a hypermodified tricyclic base found at position 37 of certain tRNAs. The modification is important for translational reading-frame maintenance. In some species that produce hydroxywybutosine the enzyme uses 7-(2-hydroxy-3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)wyosine37 in tRNAPhe as substrate. The enzyme also has the activity of EC 2.3.1.231, tRNAPhe 7-[(3S)-4-methoxy-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)wyosine37-O]-carbonyltransferase [2].
