Formation of 5-methyluridine (ribothymidine) at position 54 of the T-psi loop of tRNA is catalyzed by site-specific tRNA methyltransferases (tRNA:m(5)U-54 MTase). In all Eukarya and many Gram-negative Bacteria, the methyl donor for this reaction is S-adenosyl-l-methionine (S-AdoMet), while in several

The conserved U54 in tRNA is often modified to 5-methyluridine (m(5)U) and forms a reverse Hoogsteen base pair with A58 that stabilizes the L-shaped tRNA structure. In Gram-positive and some Gram-negative eubacteria, m(5)U54 is produced by folate/FAD-dependent tRNA (m(5)U54) methyltransferase

This paper describes a high yielding coupled enzymatic reaction using Bacillus halodurans purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) and E. coli uridine phosphorylase (UP) for synthesis of 5-methyluridine (5-MU) by transglycosylation. Key parameters such as reaction temperature, pH, reactant loading, reactor configuration

Almost all transfer RNA molecules sequenced so far contain two universal modified nucleosides at positions 54 and 55, respectively: ribothymidine (T54) and pseudouridine (psi 55). To identify the tRNA elements recognized by tRNA:m5uridine-54 methyltransferase and tRNA:pseudouridine-55 synthase from the yeast

FEBS letters, 584(2), 278-286 (2009-12-01)
Methylation of tRNA on the four canonical bases adds structural complexity to the molecule, and improves decoding specificity and efficiency. While many tRNA methylases are known, detailed insight into the catalytic mechanism is only available in a few cases. Of
