Structural highlights
2vdv is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
TRMB_YEAST Methyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of N(7)-methylguanine at position 46 (m7G46) in tRNA, a modification required to maintain stability of tRNAs; its absence resulting in tRNA decay. Both the D-stem and T-stem structures of tRNAs are required for efficient methyltransferase activity.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_03055][1][2]
