Overview
The tRNA modifying enzyme tRNA-guanine transglycosylase (TGT) is involved in the exchange of guanine in the first position of the anticodon with preQ1 as part of the biosynthesis of the hypermodified base queuine (Q). Mutation of Ser90 to an alanine in Escherichia coli TGT leads to a dramatic reduction of enzymatic activity (Reuter, K. et al. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 7041-7046). To further clarify the role of this residue in the catalytic center, we have mutated the corresponding Ser103 of the crystallizable Zymomonas mobilis TGT into alanine. The crystal structure of a TGT(S103A)/preQ1 complex combined with biochemical data presented in this paper suggest that Ser103 is essential for substrate orientation in the TGT reaction.
