TYW1 tRNA-yW synthesizing protein 1 homolog

Gene ID: 55253, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TYW1A; RSAFD1; YPL207W

Summary

Wybutosine (yW) is a hypermodified guanosine found in phenylalanine tRNA adjacent to the anticodon that stabilizes codon-anticodon interactions in the ribosome. In yeast, the homolog of this gene is essential for the synthesis of wybutosine. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
