CATH Classification

Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily Cytidine Deaminase, domain 2
Functional Family tRNA(cytosine(8)) deaminase

Enzyme Information

3.5.4.35
tRNA(cytosine(8)) deaminase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8TWU6
Cytosine(8) in tRNA + H(2)O = uracil(8) in tRNA + NH(3).
-!- The enzyme from Methanopyrus kandleri specifically catalyzes the deamimation of cytosine at poition 8 of tRNA in 30 different tRNAs. -!- This cytosine-to-uracil editing guarantees the proper folding and functionality of the tRNAs.
