Abstract excerpt
It has been estimated that eukaryotes carry more than 50 genes for tRNA modifying enzymes. Of the few so far identified most come from yeast, a lower eukaryote. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the TRM1 gene is a nuclear gene encoding the tRNA(m2/ 2G(26))dimethyltransferase, which catalyses the formation of the N2, N2-dimethylguanosine at position 26 in tRNA. We have isolated and characterized the corresponding gene...
