Reaction: GDP-α-D-mannose + queuosine34 in tRNAAsp = GDP + O-4''-α-D-mannosylqueuosine34 in tRNAAsp
Other name(s): GDP-mannose:tRNAAsp-queuosine O-5''-β-D-mannosyltransferase (incorrect); tRNA-queuosine β-mannosyltransferase (incorrect)
Systematic name: GDP-α-D-mannose:queuosine34 in tRNAAsp O-4''-α-D-mannosyltransferase (configuration-retaining)
Comments: This enzyme, found in higher vertebrates, modifies tRNAAsp at the wobble position of the anticodon loop.
