EC 2.7.7.79 Details
EC number
2.7.7.79
Accepted name
tRNAHis guanylyltransferase
Reaction
p-tRNAHis + ATP + GTP + H2O = pGp-tRNAHis + AMP + 2 diphosphate (overall reaction);;(1a) p-tRNAHis + ATP = App-tRNAHis + diphosphate;;(1b) App-tRNAHis + GTP = pppGp-tRNAHis + AMP;;(1c) pppGp-tRNAHis + H2O = pGp-tRNAHis + diphosphate
Other name(s)
histidine tRNA guanylyltransferase, Thg1p (ambiguous), Thg1 (ambiguous)
Systematic name
p-tRNAHis:GTP guanylyltransferase (ATP-hydrolysing)
Comment
In eukarya an additional guanosine residue is added post-transcriptionally to the 5′-end of tRNAHis molecules. The addition occurs opposite a universally conserved adenosine73 and is thus the result of a non-templated 3′-5′ addition reaction. The additional guanosine residue is an important determinant for aminoacylation by EC 6.1.1.21, histidine—tRNA ligase.The enzyme requires a divalent cation for activity [2]. ATP activation is not required when the substrate contains a 5′-triphosphate (ppp-tRNAHis) [3].
