| evolution | Trm14 is associated with cluster of orthologous groups, COG, 0116, and most closely resembles the m2G10 tRNA methylase Trm11. Phylogenetic analysis reveals a canonical archaeal/bacterial evolutionary separation with 20-30% sequence identities between the two branches, but it is likely that the detailed functions of COG 0116 enzymes differ between the archaeal and bacterial domains.

| physiological function | tRNA m2G6 formation may play a role in stabilizing the structure of the RNA and function synergistically with these core-region modifications to stabilize the molecule against thermal stress. Also, Trm14-catalyzed m2G6 formation in tRNACys may play a role in modulating the aminoacylation efficiency of phosphoseryl-tRNA synthetase, i.e. SepRS. Control of SepRS (or CysRS) activity by SAM-dependent methylation of tRNACys might provide the methanogen cell with a regulatory mechanism by which protein synthesis rates can respond to environmental sulfur levels or to concentrations of sulfur metabolites | Methanocaldococcus jannaschii |
