Description
This domain can be found in Kae1/Qri7/YgjD, products of COG0533 that belong to a small group of 60 proteins that are present in all three domains of life. COG0533 proteins are suggest to play a role in a post translational modification of certain tRNAs. For example, YgjD along with YeaZ, YjeE, and YrdC have been deemed necessary and sufficient for the tRNA modification
[2]. This modification involves the formation of N6-threonyl carbamoyl adenosine (t6A) at position 37 in the anti-codon stem loop which is critical for translational speed and accuracy
[1]. Structural analysis indicate that YeaZ lacks resemblance to any known protease active site. Together with the absence of a putative zinc-binding motif. Thus the likelyhood of it being a protease, as previously thought, has been negated
[2]. EC:2.3.1.234
