The reaction is reversible, and the enzyme does not distinguish between α-D-ribose 1-phosphate and 2-deoxy-α-D-ribose 1-phosphate in the synthetic direction.

Systematic name: tRNA-guanosine34:7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanine tRNA-D-ribosyltransferase

Comments: Certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic tRNAs contain the modified base queuine at position 34. In eubacteria, which produce queuine de novo, the enzyme catalyses the exchange of guanine with the queuine precursor preQ1, which is ultimately modified to queuosine [5]. The enzyme can also use an earlier intermediate, preQ0, to replace guanine in unmodified tRNATyr and tRNAAsn [1]. This enzyme acts after EC 1.7.1.13, preQ1 synthase, in the queuine-biosynthesis pathway. cf. EC 2.4.2.64, tRNA-guanosine34 queuine transglycosylase.

Systematic name: NAD+:protein-L-arginine ADP-D-ribosyltransferase

Comments: Protein mono-ADP-ribosylation is a reversible post-translational modification that plays a role in the regulation of cellular activities [4]. Arginine residues in proteins act as acceptors. Free arginine, agmatine [(4-aminobutyl)guanidine], arginine methyl ester and guanidine can also do so. The enzyme from some, but not all, species can also use NADP+ as acceptor (giving rise to Nω-[(2'-phospho-ADP)-D-ribosyl]-protein-L-arginine as the product), but more slowly [1,5]. The enzyme catalyses the NAD+-dependent activation of EC 4.6.1.1, adenylate cyclase. Some bacterial enterotoxins possess similar enzymatic activities. (cf. EC 2.4.2.36 NAD+—diphthamide ADP-ribosyltransferase).

Accepted name: xylosyl α-1,3-xylosyltransferase

Reaction: UDP-α-D-xylose + [protein with EGF-like domain]-3-O-[α-D-xylosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucosyl]-L-serine = UDP + [protein with EGF-like domain]-3-O-[α-D-xylosyl-(1→3)-α-D-xylosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucosyl]-L-serine

Other name(s): XXYLT1 (gene name)

Systematic name: UDP-α-D-xylose:[EGF-like domain protein]-3-O-[α-D-xylosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucosyl]-L-serine 3-α-D-xylosyltransferase (configuration-retaining)

Comments: The enzyme, found in animals and insects, is involved in the biosynthesis of the α-D-xylosyl-(1→3)-α-D-xylosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucosyl trisaccharide on epidermal growth factor-like (EGF-like) domains. When present on Notch proteins, the trisaccharide functions as a modulator of the signalling activity of this protein.

EC 2.4.2.63

Accepted name: EGF-domain serine xylosyltransferase

Reaction: UDP-α-D-xylose + [protein with EGF-like domain]-L-serine = UDP + [protein with EGF-like domain]-3-O-(β-D-xylosyl)-L-serine

Other name(s): POGLUT1 (gene name) (ambiguous); rumi (gene name) (ambiguous)

Systematic name: UDP-α-D-xylose:[protein with EGF-like domain]-L-serine O-β-xylosyltransferase (configuration-inverting)

Comments: The enzyme, found in animals and insects, xylosylates at the serine in the C-X-S-X-P-C motif of epidermal growth factor-like (EGF-like) domains. The enzyme is bifunctional also being active with UDP-α-glucose as donor (EC 2.4.1.376, EGF-domain serine glucosyltransferase).

EC 2.4.2.64

Accepted name: tRNA-guanosine34 queuine transglycosylase

Reaction: guanine34 in tRNA + queuine = queuine34 in tRNA + guanine

For diagram of reaction click here

Glossary: queuine = base Q = 2-amino-5-({[(1S,4S,5R)-4,5-dihydroxycyclopent-2-en-1-yl]amino}methyl)-1,7-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-e]pyrimidin-4-one

Other name(s): QTRT1 (gene name); QTRT2 (gene name); TGT (ambiguous); guanine insertion enzyme (ambiguous); tRNA transglycosylase (ambiguous); Q-insertase (ambiguous); queuine34 transfer ribonucleate ribosyltransferase; transfer ribonucleate glycosyltransferase (ambiguous); tRNA guanine34 transglycosidase (ambiguous); queuine tRNA-ribosyltransferase; [tRNA]-guanine34:queuine tRNA-D-ribosyltransferase; transfer ribonucleic acid guanine34 transglycosylase (ambiguous)

Systematic name: tRNA-guanosine34:queuine tRNA-D-ribosyltransferase

Comments: Certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic tRNAs contain the modified base queuine at position 34. In eukaryotes and a small number of prokaryotes queuine is salvaged and incorporated into tRNA directly via a base-exchange reaction, replacing guanine. cf. EC 2.4.2.29, tRNA-guanosine34 preQ1 transglycosylase.
