Generation of Dnmt2 mutant allele (Dnmt2DELTA5.4), which shows loss of RNA methylation at known tRNA substrates. Catalytically mutant Dnmt2 rescues transposable element (TE) expression changes. Recombinant ectopic expression of the catalytically inactive mutant Dnmt2, which does not reconstitute tRNA methylation, also normalizes TE expression levels. RNAi-mediated knockdown of Dnmt2 in follicle cells. Spliced Gypsy mRNA is significantly elevated in Dnmt2 mutants after heat shock, but not in controls, functional Gypsy retroviral particles can be formed in Dnmt2 mutants. Specific eccDNAs accumulate in RCMT mutants. RCMT mutants display reduced tRNA stability and tRNA abundance 756399 2.1.1.204 N264S site-directed mutagenesi, the mutant shows activity similar to the wild-type enzyme 735726 2.1.1.204 R160A no detectable in vitro methylation activity 710547 2.1.1.204 R160A site-directed mutagenesis, inactive mutant 718931 2.1.1.204 R162A no detectable in vitro methylation activity 710547 2.1.1.204 R162A site-directed mutagenesis, inactive mutant 718931 2.1.1.204 R240A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows only slightly reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 718931 2.1.1.204 R275A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows highly reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 718931 2.1.1.204 R288A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows moderately reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 718931 2.1.1.204 R289A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows highly reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 718931 2.1.1.204 R369A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows moderately reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 718931 2.1.1.204 R371A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows highly reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 718931 2.1.1.204 R371H site-directed mutagenesis, almost inactive mutant 735726 2.1.1.204 R84A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows highly reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 718931 2.1.1.204 R95A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows highly reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme 718931
