TRNA (adenine9-N1)-methyltransferase

Template:Infobox enzyme TRNA (adenine⁹-N¹)-methyltransferase (Template:EC number, Trm10p, tRNA(m1G9/m1A9)-methyltransferase, tRNA(m1G9/m1A9)MTase, TK0422p (gene), tRNA m1A9-methyltransferase, tRNA m1A9 Mtase) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (adenine⁹-N¹)-methyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + adenine⁹ in tRNA $\rightleftharpoons$ S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N¹-methyladenine⁹ in tRNA

The enzyme from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius specifically methylates adenine⁹ in tRNA.
