Comments [?]

Function Required for the formation of a threonylcarbamoyl group on adenosine at position 37 (t(6)A37) in tRNAs that read codons beginning with adenine. Catalyzes the conversion of L-threonine, HCO(3)(-)/CO(2) and ATP to give threonylcarbamoyl-AMP (TC-AMP) as the acyladenylate intermediate, with the release of diphosphate.
Catalytic activity RHEA:36407: ATP + hydrogencarbonate + L-threonine = diphosphate + H2O + L-threonylcarbamoyladenylate
EC 2.7.7.87
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
Similarity Belongs to the SUA5 family. TsaC subfamily.

Comments The well-known t(6)A modification appears to be a hydrolyzed artifact of natural cyclic t(6)A (ct(6)A) that occurs during the preparation and handling of tRNA in E.coli, B.subtilis and many other species including fungi and plants (PubMed:23242255). In these species, the t(6)A modification is processed further by dehydration into ct(6)A, a reaction catalyzed by TcdA.
