Biochemical and genetic studies define the functions of methylthiotransferases in methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea
Methylthiotransferases (MTTases) are radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzymes that catalyze the addition of a methylthio (-SCH3) group to an unreactive carbon center. These enzymes are responsible for the production of 2-methylthioadenosine (ms2A) derivatives found at position A37 of select tRNAs...
