EC 3.5.4.35 Details
EC number
3.5.4.35
Accepted name
tRNA(cytosine8) deaminase
Reaction
cytosine8 in tRNA + H2O = uracil8 in tRNA + NH3
Other name(s)
CDAT8
Systematic name
tRNA(cytosine8) aminohydrolase
Comment
The enzyme from Methanopyrus kandleri specifically catalyses the deamination of cytosine at position 8 of tRNA in 30 different tRNAs. This cytosine-to-uracil editing guarantees the proper folding and functionality of the tRNAs.
