TRNA (cytosine38-C5)-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.204 hDNMT2 (gene) DNMT2 (gene) TRDMT1 (gene)) is an enzyme with system name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (cytosine38-C5)-methyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine38 in tRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine38 in tRNAThe eukaryotic enzyme catalyses methylation of cytosine38 in the anti-codon loop of tRNAAsp(GTC) tRNAVal(AAC) and tRNAGly(GCC).
