EC 2.6.1.97 Details
EC number
2.6.1.97
Accepted name
archaeosine synthase
Reaction
L-glutamine + 7-cyano-7-carbaguanine15 in tRNA + H2O = L-glutamate + archaeine15 in tRNA
Other name(s)
ArcS, TgtA2, MJ1022 (gene name), glutamine:preQ0-tRNA amidinotransferase (incorrect)
Systematic name
L-glutamine:7-cyano-7-carbaguanine aminotransferase
Comment
In Euryarchaeota the reaction is catalysed by ArcS [1,2]. In Crenarchaeota, which do not have an ArcS homologue, the reaction is catalysed either by a homologue of EC 6.3.4.20, 7-cyano-7-deazaguanine synthase that includes a glutaminase domain (cf. EC 3.5.1.2), or by a homologue of EC 1.7.1.13, preQ1 synthase [2]. The enzyme from the Euryarchaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii can also use arginine and ammonium as amino donors.
