Abstract of the PDB Structure's related Publication:

Transfer RNA (tRNA) methylation is necessary for the proper biological function of tRNA. The N(1) methylation of guanine at Position 9 (m(1)G9) of tRNA, which is widely identified in eukaryotes and archaea, was found to be catalyzed by the Trm10 family of methyltransferases (MTases). Here, we report the first crystal structures of the tRNA MTase spTrm10 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe in the presence and absence of its methyl donor product S-adenosyl-homocysteine (SAH) and its ortholog scTrm10 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in complex with SAH. Our crystal structures indicated that the MTase domain (the catalytic domain) of the Trm10 family displays a typical SpoU-TrmD (SPOUT) fold. Furthermore, small angle X-ray scattering analysis reveals that Trm10 behaves as a monomer in solution, whereas other members of the SPOUT superfamily all function as homodimers. We also performed tRNA MTase assays and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments to investigate the catalytic mechanism of Trm10 in vitro. In combination with mutational analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assays, our results provide insights into the substrate tRNA recognition mechanism of Trm10 family MTases.

Comments:

Monomeric cytoplasmic enzyme. AdoMet is the methyl group donor. Bears no detectable resemblance to the yeast m1G37 methyltransferase, Trm5, or its orthologs. Homologs are found widely only in eukaryotes and archaea, with multiple homologs in several metazoans (at least three in humans). Not essential, yet it plays a role in translation termination efficiency. The substrate specificity of this enzyme is broader than expected from modification status of tRNA obtained from wild type S. cerevisiae (additional substrates were found via in vitro experiments and studies with overexpressed enzyme). Sequence or structure determinants of specificity are unknown.
