Primary Identifier | MGI:1919276 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 72026 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; tRNA binding activity; and tRNA-5-taurinomethyluridine 2-sulfurtransferase. Predicted to be involved in tRNA wobble position uridine thiolation. Predicted to act upstream of or within tRNA processing. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aminoglycoside-induced deafness; infantile liver failure syndrome; and transient infantile liver failure. Orthologous to human TRMU (tRNA mitochondrial 2-thiouridylase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous KO is embryonic lethal. Homozygous conditional KO in the liver affects mitochondrial function owing to impaired mt-tRNA modifications. [provided by MGI curators] |
