| description | Dihydrouridine synthases (Dus) is a large family of flavoenzymes comprising eight subfamilies. They catalyse the NADPH-dependent synthesis of dihydrouridine, a modified base found in the D-loop of most tRNAs. Mainly, they contain two functional conserved domains, an N-terminal catalytic domain (TBD) adopting a TIM barrel fold and a unique C-terminal helical domain (HD) devoted to tRNA recognition. However, DUS2 is distinguished from its paralogues and its fungi orthologues by the acquisition of an additional domain, a double stranded RNA binding domain (dsRBD), which serves as the main tRNA binding module [, ]. This entry represents the double stranded RNA binding domain of DUS2 []. |
