ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.2.64

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.4.2.64
Accepted Name
tRNA-guanosine(34) queuine transglycosylase
Alternative Name(s)
guanine insertion enzyme
Q-insertase
queuine(34) transfer ribonucleate ribosyltransferase
queuine tRNA-ribosyltransferase
TGT
tRNA transglycosylase
Reaction catalysed
guanosine(34) in tRNA + queuine = queuosine(34) in tRNA + guanine
Comment(s)
  • Certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic tRNAs contain the modified base queuine at position 34.
  • In eukaryotes and a small number of prokaryotes queuine is salvaged and incorporated into tRNA directly via a base-exchange reaction, replacing guanine. cf. EC 2.4.2.29.
