Enzyme Information

2.1.1.200
tRNA (cytidine(32)/uridine(32)-2'-O)-methyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt P0AE01
(1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytidine(32) in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine + 2'-O-methylcytidine(32) in tRNA. (2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uridine(32) in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine + 2'-O-methyluridine(32) in tRNA.
-!- In Escherichia coli TrmJ is the only methyltransferase responsible for the formation of 2'-O-methylcytidine(32) in tRNA. -!- No methylation of cytosine(34) in tRNA(Leu)(CAA). -!- In vitro the enzyme 2'-O-methylates cytidine(34) of tRNA(Ser1) and uridine(32) of tRNA(Gln2).
