| PubMed Abstract | Eukaryotic tRNA guanine transglycosylase (TGT) is an RNA-modifying enzyme which catalyzes the base exchange of the genetically encoded guanine 34 of tRNAs for queuine, a hypermodified 7-deazaguanine ...Eukaryotic tRNA guanine transglycosylase (TGT) is an RNA-modifying enzyme which catalyzes the base exchange of the genetically encoded guanine 34 of tRNAs for queuine, a hypermodified 7-deazaguanine derivative. Eukaryotic TGT is a heterodimer comprised of a catalytic and a non-catalytic subunit. While binding of the tRNA anticodon loop to the active site is structurally well understood, the contribution of the non-catalytic subunit to tRNA binding remained enigmatic, as no complex structure with a complete tRNA was available. Here, we report a cryo-EM structure of eukaryotic TGT in complex with a complete tRNA, revealing the crucial role of the non-catalytic subunit in tRNA binding. We decipher the functional significance of these additional tRNA-binding sites, analyze solution state conformation, flexibility, and disorder of apo TGT, and examine conformational transitions upon tRNA binding. |
