The enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae specifically methylates guanine9 [1,2]. The bifunctional enzyme from Thermococcus kodakaraensis also catalyses the methylation of adenine9 in tRNA (cf. EC 2.1.1.218, tRNA (adenine9-N1)-methyltransferase) [1].
the methylation on the N1 atom of adenosine to form 1-methyladenosine (m1A) has been identified at nucleotide position 9, 14, 22, 57, and 58 in different tRNAs. In some cases, these modifications have been shown to increase tRNA structural stability and induce correct tRNA folding. The m1A9 MTases belong to the Trm10 subfamily of the SPOUT superfamily. In addition to the m1A9 modification, the Trm10 subfamily of MTases methylates guanosine in some organisms
the enzyme Trm10 belongs to the SPOUT superfamily. Trm10 behaves as a monomer in solution, whereas other members of the SPOUT superfamily all function as homodimers. The MTase domain (the catalytic domain) of the Trm10 family displays a typical SpoU-TrmD (SPOUT) fold. Trm10 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe demonstrates identical tRNA MTase activity as Trm10 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
aside from an active site aspartate residue, alignment of the available Trm10 protein structures and their primary sequences show no other obvious amino acid candidates in the active site that could account for the differences between m1G9-specific (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe), m1A9-specific (Sulfolobus acidocaldarius) and m1A9/m1G9 dual-specific (human Trmt10C and Trm10 from Thermococcus kodakarensis) Trm10 MTases. It is possible that the purine specificity might simply be due to differences in surface charge around the active site and size and/or layout of the purine-binding pocket, which could allow different Trm10 family members to accommodate different purine substrates, rather than to specific residues for catalysis. The active site pocket is more open for the m1G9-specific Trmt10A and m1A9-specific Trm10, compared to the other Trm10 proteins. No obvious similarities are observed within the m1G9-specific group of proteins that are also clearly different from the m1A9-specific Trm10, and altered in the m1G9/m1A9 dual-specific protein
the enzyme adopts a globular alpha/beta structure consisting of six-stranded beta-sheets sandwiched by alpha-helices at both sides, small angle X-ray scattering analysis
