Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The TrhO family proteins are responsible for the post-transcriptional modification of tRNA by catalyzing the oxygen-dependent hydroxylation of uridine at position 34, resulting in the formation of 5-hydroxyuridine (ho5U). This modification is a key step in the biosynthesis of 5-carboxymethoxyuridine (cmo5U), which is essential for the proper decoding function of tRNAs during protein synthesis. Some members of the TrhO family may also participate in an alternate pathway that can bypass cmo5U biogenesis in certain tRNAs under aerobic conditions, highlighting a potential regulatory mechanism for tRNA function in response to oxygen availability.
