Primary Identifier | IPR033449 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | Rit1_N |
description | This entry represents the N-terminal domain of the enzyme Rit1 (tRNA A64-2'-O-ribosylphosphate transferase) which modifies exclusively the initiator tRNA in position 64 using 5'-phosphoribosyl-1'-pyrophosphate as the modification donor. As the initiator tRNA participates both in the initiation and elongation of translation, the 2'-O-ribosyl phosphate modification discriminates the initiator tRNAs from the elongator tRNAs []. The N-terminal domain is the most conserved region of the protein []. |
