Description: | GidA is a tRNA modification enzyme found in bacteria and mitochondria. Though its precise molecular function of these proteins is not known, it is involved in the 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl modification of the wobble uridine base in some tRNAs [, ]. Sequence variations in the human mitochondrial protein may influence the severity of aminoglycoside-induced deafness [].This entry is found in GidA and related proteins, such as the methylenetetrahydrofolate--tRNA-(uracil-5-)-methyltransferase enzyme TrmFO. | Short Name: | GIDA-rel_CS |
