Metabolite Identification
Common NameQueuine
DescriptionQueuine is a highly modified derivative of guanine found in the first position of the anticodon of the transfer RNAs for asp, asn, his and tyr. The original transcripts of these tRNAs contain guanine in this position. All organisms with the exception of yeast and mycoplasma contain queuine. Bacteria synthesize queuine but it cannot be synthesized by higher mammals. Significant amounts of free queuine are present in common plant and animal food products. (PMID 9016755 ).

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in queuine tRNA-ribosyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Interacts with QTRTD1 to form an active queuine tRNA-ribosyltransferase. This enzyme exchanges queuine for the guanine at the wobble position of tRNAs with GU(N) anticodons (tRNA-Asp, -Asn, -His and -Tyr), thereby forming the hypermodified nucleoside queuosine (Q) (7-(((4,5-cis-dihydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-yl)amino)methyl)-7-deazaguanosine) (By similarity).
Gene Name:
QTRT1
Uniprot ID:
Q9BXR0
Molecular weight:
44047.3
