EC 1.7.1.13 Details
EC number
1.7.1.13
Accepted name
preQ1 synthase
Reaction
7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine + 2 NADP+ = 7-cyano-7-carbaguanine + 2 NADPH + 2 H+
Other name(s)
YkvM, QueF, preQ0 reductase, preQ0 oxidoreductase, 7-cyano-7-deazaguanine reductase, queuine synthase (incorrect as queuine is not the product), queuine:NADP+ oxidoreductase (incorrect as queuine is not the product)
Systematic name
7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine:NADP+ oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
1256460-80-6
Comment
The reaction occurs in the reverse direction. This enzyme catalyses one of the early steps in the synthesis of queuosine (Q-tRNA), and is followed by the action of EC 2.4.2.29, tRNA-guanosine34 transglycosylase. Queuosine is found in the wobble position of tRNAGUN in Eukarya and Bacteria [2] and is thought to be involved in translational modulation. The enzyme is not a GTP cyclohydrolase, as was thought previously based on sequence-homology studies.
