metabolism | formation of a covalent complex between dual-cysteine RNA:m5C methyltransferases and methylated RNA provides a unique means by which metabolic factors can influence RNA. By controlling the degree of formation of the enzyme-RNA covalent complex, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and pH are likely to influence the extent of m5C formation and the rate of release of methylated RNA from RNA:m5C methyltransferases. Metabolite-induced covalent complexes could plausibly affect the processing and function of m5C-containing RNAs | Mammalia |
additional information | four active-site residues critical for Nsun2-mediated tRNA methylation are also required for the formation of the denaturant-resistant complexes with m5C-containing RNA | Mammalia |
