Reaction: (1) 5,6-dihydrouracil20a in tRNA + NAD(P)+ = uracil20a in tRNA + NAD(P)H + H+
(2) 5,6-dihydrouracil20b in tRNA + NAD(P)+ = uracil20b in tRNA + NAD(P)H + H+
Other name(s): Dus4p
Systematic name: tRNA-5,6-dihydrouracil20a/20b:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase
Comments: A flavoenzyme. The enzyme specifically modifies uracil20a and uracil20b in tRNA.
