additional information | in addition to a pyrimidine at position 34, the enzyme requires the presence of N6-(isopentenyl)-2-methylthioadenosine (ms2i6A) at position 37 as a positive identity determinant. Modification i6A, produced by MiaA, is enough to promote recognition of the substrate tRNAs by TrmL. Recognition of an amber codon by the supP suppressor, which is a mutant tRNALeu CmAA carrying the A35U change in the anticodon, is impaired if the suppressor lacks the 2'-O-methylation at the wobble position | Escherichia coli | ? | - |

The wobble nucleoside in tRNALeu cmnm5UmAA and tRNALeuCmAA is not thiolated. Nevertheless methylation of the 2'-hydroxyl group favors the C3'-endo ribose conformation for all nucleosides, although the effect is more marked with pyrimidines | Escherichia coli | S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl-2'-O-methyluridine34 in tRNA | o.e. tRNALeucmnm5UmAA | ? |

evolution | TrmL is a representative protein of SPOUTenzymes, a class of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferases that exhibit an unusual fold with a very deep topological knot. TrmL is one of the smallest alpha/beta-knot proteins | Escherichia coli |
metabolism | modifications at the wobble uridine, U34, of tRNAs reading two degenerate codons ending in purine are complex and result from the activity of two multi-enzyme pathways, the IscSeMnmA and MnmEG pathways, which independently work on positions 2 and 5 of the U34 pyrimidine ring, respectively, and from a third single-step pathway, controlled by TrmL, i.e. YibK, that modifies the 2'-hydroxyl group of the ribose. TrmL occurs as a late step in the maturation of the tRNALeu isoacceptors | Escherichia coli |
