Identification
Name:Sulfurtransferase tusD
Synonyms:
  • tRNA 2-thiouridine synthesizing protein D
Gene Name:tusD
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in sulfurtransferase activity
Specific Function:Part of a sulfur-relay system required for 2-thiolation of 5-methylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine (mnm(5)s(2)U) at tRNA wobble positions. Accepts sulfur from tusA and transfers it in turn to tusE
