Human TRMT1 and TRMT1L paralogs ensure the proper modification state, stability, and function of tRNAs
1 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
The tRNA methyltransferase 1 (TRMT1) enzyme catalyzes the N2,N2-dimethylguanosine (m2,2G) modification in tRNAs. Intriguingly, vertebrates encode an additional tRNA methyltransferase 1-like (TRMT1L) paralog. Here, we use a comprehensive tRNA sequencing approach to decipher targets of human TRMT1 and TRMT1L. We find that TRMT1 methylates all known tRNAs containing guanosine at position 26, while TRMT1L represents...
