Protein function (UniProt)

5-taurinomethyluridine-[tRNA] synthase subunit MTO1, mitochondrial

Component of the GTPBP3-MTO1 complex that catalyzes the 5-taurinomethyluridine (taum(5)U) modification at the 34th wobble position (U34) of mitochondrial tRNAs (mt-tRNAs), which plays a role in mt-tRNA decoding and mitochondrial translation (PubMed:29390138, PubMed:33619562). Taum(5)U formation on mammalian mt-tRNA requires the presence of both GTPBP3-mediated GTPase activity and MTO1 catalytic activity (PubMed:29390138)
