Wybutosine (yW) is a hypermodified guanosine at the 3-prime position adjacent to the anticodon of phenylalanine tRNA that stabilizes codon-anticodon interactions during decoding on the ribosome. TRMT12 is the human homolog of a yeast gene essential for yW synthesis (Noma and Suzuki, 2006).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],

Function:
Function:Probable S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase that acts as a component of the wybutosine biosynthesis pathway. Wybutosine is a hyper modified guanosine with a tricyclic base found at the 3'-position adjacent to the anticodon of eukaryotic phenylalanine tRNA.,pathway:tRNA modification; wybutosine-tRNA(Phe) biosynthesis.,sequence Caution:Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence starting in position 371.,sequence Caution:Translation N-terminally shortened.,similarity:Belongs to the RNA methyltransferase trmD family. TYW2 subfamily.,
