tRNA uridine(34) acetyltransferase

UniProtKB accession:  A0A1C7D1B7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  tRNA uridine(34) acetyltransferase, which mediates formation of carboxymethyluridine in the wobble base at position 34 in tRNAs (PubMed:27455459). The proposed mechanism is the following: (i) recruits S-adenosyl-L-methionine and cleaves it to generate a 5'-deoxyadenosine radical (5'-dA) in the radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (rSAM) region, (ii) hydrolyzes acetyl-CoA in the N-acetyltransferase domain and (iii) an acetyl radical is formed by the products of the two domains and (iv) is transferred onto the C5 position of uridine(34) in the bound tRNA molecule. Does not show protein lysine acetyltransferase activity (By similarity).
