Certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic tRNAs contain the modified base queuine at position 34. In eubacteria, which produce queuine de novo, the enzyme catalyses the exchange of guanine with the queuine precursor preQ1, which is ultimately modified to queuosine . The enzyme can also use an earlier intermediate, preQ0, to replace guanine in unmodified tRNATyr and tRNAAsn . This enzyme acts after EC 1.7.1.13, preQ1 synthase, in the queuine-biosynthesis pathway. cf. EC 2.4.2.64, tRNA-guanosine34 queuine transglycosylase.
The taxonomic range for the selected organisms is: Methanosarcina acetivorans The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryota

in the first step of archaeosine biosynthesis, archaeosine tRNAguanine transglycosylase catalyzes the base exchange reaction from guanine to 7-cyano-7-deazaguanine
2 * 19000 + 2 * 54000, archaeosine tRNAguanine transglycosylase is classified into full-size or split types. Although the full-size type forms a homodimeric structure, the split type forms a heterotetrameric structure, consisting of two kinds of peptide. Interaction between the two subunits may contribute to the conformational stability of split ArcTGT
