Other name(s): yrdC (gene name); Sua5; ywlC (gene name)
Systematic name: ATP:L-threonyl,HCO3- adenylyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme is involved in the synthesis of N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine37 in tRNAs, which is found in tRNAs with the anticodon NNU, i.e. tRNAIle, tRNAThr, tRNAAsn, tRNALys, tRNASer and tRNAArg [6].
