S. cerevisiae Trm140 has two recognition modes for 3-methylcytidine modification of the anticodon loop of tRNA substrates

L Han, E Marcus, S D'Silva, EM Phizicky - Rna, 2017 - rnajournal.cshlp.org
The 3-methylcytidine (m3C) modification is ubiquitous in eukaryotic tRNA, widely found at
C32 in the anticodon loop of tRNAThr, tRNASer, and some tRNAArg species, as well as in …

Multi-substrate specificity and the evolutionary basis for interdependence in tRNA editing and methylation enzymes

S Dixit, JC Henderson, JD Alfonzo - Frontiers in genetics, 2019 - frontiersin.org
