Abstract excerpt
TrmFO is a N(5) , N(10) -methylenetetrahydrofolate (CH2 THF)-/FAD-dependent tRNA methyltransferase, which synthesizes 5-methyluridine at position 54 (m(5) U54) in tRNA. Thermus thermophilus is an extreme-thermophilic eubacterium, which grows in a wide range of temperatures (50-83 °C). In T. thermophilus, modified nucleosides in tRNA and modification enzymes form a network, in which one modification regulates the...
