EC 2.1.1.225

Accepted name: tRNA:m4X modification enzyme

Reaction: (1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytidine4 in tRNAPro = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2'-O-methylcytidine4 in tRNAPro
(2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytidine4 in tRNAGly(GCC) = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2'-O-methylcytidine4 in tRNAGly(GCC)
(3) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + adenosine4 in tRNAHis = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2'-O-methyladenosine4 in tRNAHis

Other name(s): TRM13; Trm13p; tRNA:Xm4 modification enzyme

Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNAPro/His/Gly(GCC) (cytidine/adenosine4-2'-O)-methyltransferase

Comments: The enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2'-O-methylates cytidine4 in tRNAPro and tRNAGly(GCC), and adenosine4 in tRNAHis.
