EC 2.1.1.211

Accepted name: tRNASer (uridine44-2'-O)-methyltransferase

Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uridine44 in tRNASer = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2'-O-methyluridine44 in tRNASer

Other name(s): TRM44

Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNASer (uridine44-2'-O)-methyltransferase

Comments: The 2'-O-methylation of uridine44 contributes to stability of tRNASer(CGA).
