ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.231

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.3.1.231

Accepted Name

tRNA(Phe) {7-[3-amino-3-(methoxycarbonyl)propyl]wyosine(37)-N}- methoxycarbonyltransferase

Alternative Name(s)

tRNA-yW synthesizing enzyme-4

Reaction catalysed

7-[(3S)-(3-amino-3-methoxycarbonyl)propyl]wyosine(37) in tRNA(Phe) + S-adenosyl-L-methionine + CO2 = wybutosine(37) in tRNA(Phe) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2 H(+)

Comment(s)

The enzyme is found only in eukaryotes, where it is involved in the biosynthesis of wybutosine, a hypermodified tricyclic base found at position 37 of certain tRNAs.
The modification is important for translational reading-frame maintenance.
In some species that produce hydroxywybutosine the enzyme uses 7-[2-hydroxy-3-amino-3-(methoxycarbonyl)propyl]wyosine(37) in tRNA(Phe) as substrate.
The enzyme also has the activity of EC 2.1.1.290.
