tRNA (cytosine(38)-C(5))-methyltransferase

UniProtKB accession:  P40999

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Specifically methylates cytosine 38 in the anticodon loop of tRNA(Asp). Can also methylate cytosine 38 in tRNA(Glu), albeit to a lower level, but not tRNA(Lys). Pmt1-dependent tRNA methylation is induced by nitrogen limitation and depends on the nutrient-sensing protein kinase sck2. Does not have DNA-methylation activity.
