NCL1 [YBL024W]
Multisite-specific tRNA:(cytosine-C(5))-methyltransferase; S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent tRNA: m5C-methyltransferase; methylates cytosine to m5C at several positions in tRNAs and intron-containing pre-tRNAs; increases proportion of tRNALeu(CAA) with m5C at wobble position in response to hydrogen peroxide, causing selective translation of mRNA from genes enriched in TTG codon; loss of NCL1 confers hypersensitivity to oxidative stress; similar to Nop2p and human proliferation associated nucleolar protein p120
Synonyms: NCL1, NCL1p, P38205, P38205p, TRM4 ...
