Identification and characterization of two new archaeal methyltransferases forming 1-methyladenosine or 1-methyladenosine and 1-methylguanosine in transfer RNA

All cellular RNAs contain numerous chemically modified nucleosides, but the largest number and the greatest variety are found in transfer RNA (tRNA). These modifications are posttranscriptionally introduced by modification enzymes during the complex process of tRNA maturation. The function of these...
