Abstract excerpt
A cDNA of human origin is shown to encode a tRNA isopentenyl transferase (E.C. 2.5.1.8). Expression of the gene in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant lacking the endogenous tRNA isopentenyl transferase MOD5 resulted in functional complementation and reintroduction of isopentenyladenosine into tRNA. The deduced amino acid sequence contains a number of regions conserved in known tRNA isopentenyl transferases. The...
