tRNA (cytidine-5-)-methyltransferase activity

Term ID

GO:0016428

Synonyms

• S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity
• transfer ribonucleate cytosine 5-methyltransferase activity
• transfer RNA cytosine 5-methyltransferase activity
• tRNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity

Definition

Catalysis of the reaction: a cytidine in tRNA + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = a 5-methylcytidine in tRNA + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H+. This modification can occur on seversal residues, including cytidine(34), cytidine(40), cytidine(48), and cytidine(49).
