This is a C-terminal TRAM (after TRM2, a family of uridine methylases, and MiaB) domain found in the methylthiotransferases RimO enzymes that catalyze the conversion of aspartate to 2-methylthio-aspartate (msD) in the S12 protein near the decoding center in prokaryotic ribosomes. The TRAM domain in RimO, contains five anti-parallel beta-strands and docks on the surface of the Radical-SAM domain at the distal edge of its open TIM-barrel from its conserved [4Fe-4S] cluster [1].
Radical SAM proteins catalyse diverse reactions, including unusual methylations, isomerisation, sulphur insertion, ring formation, anaerobic oxidation and protein radical formation.
