tRNA (Uracil-5-)-methyltransferase
This family consists of (Uracil-5-)-methyltransferases EC:2.1.1.35 from bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. A 5-methyluridine (m(5)U) residue at position 54 is a conserved feature of bacterial and eukaryotic tRNAs. The methylation of U54 is catalysed by the tRNA(m5U54)methyltransferase, which in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is encoded by the nonessential TRM2 gene. It is thought that tRNA modification enzymes might have a role in tRNA maturation not necessarily linked to their known catalytic activity [1]. [1]. 12003492.

tRNA (uridine(54)-C5)-methyltransferase TrmA
tRNA (uridine(54)-C5)-methyltransferase TrmA is a dual-specificity methyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of 5-methyluridine at position 54 (m5U54) in all tRNAs, and that of position 341 (m5U341) in tmRNA
Catalyzes the formation of 5-methyl-uridine at position 54 in all tRNAs. The seed alignment derived from PF05958 in Pfam 12.0, but cutoffs were tuned to select only TrmA. Homologous proteins excluded by this model include other uracil methyltransferases, such as RumA, active on rRNA.
