  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 63899
  • UniProt: Q9H649
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Mitochondrial tRNA methyltransferase that mediates methylation of cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) at position 34 of mt-tRNA(Met) (PubMed:27497299, PubMed:27214402, PubMed:27356879). mt-tRNA(Met) methylation at cytosine(34) takes place at the wobble position of the anticodon and initiates the formation of 5-formylcytosine (f(5)c) at this position (PubMed:27497299, PubMed:27214402, PubMed:27356879). mt-tRNA(Met) containing the f(5)c modification at the wobble position enables recognition of the AUA codon in addition to the AUG codon, expanding codon recognition in mitochondrial translation (PubMed:27497299, PubMed:27356879). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27214402, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27356879, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27497299}.
