Activity summary

TRM1 also known as transfer RNA methyltransferase 1 is an enzyme responsible for methylating the N2 position of guanine in tRNA molecules. It has a molecular mass of approximately 49 kDa. TRM1 mostly resides in the mitochondria but can also be found in the cytoplasm. Its presence ensures proper methylation of tRNA influencing efficient and accurate protein translation.

Biological function summary

The methylation activity of TRM1 plays a role in maintaining the stability and function of tRNA molecules. As part of the cellular machinery TRM1 does not function alone; it often works together with other tRNA-modifying enzymes to ensure the fidelity of protein synthesis. This modification protects tRNA's structure facilitates proper folding and enhances interaction with ribosomal components.

Pathways

TRM1 functions significantly impact protein synthesis pathways. The enzyme is instrumental in the translation process by ensuring that tRNA molecules are correctly modified for protein assembly. TRM1 operates alongside other proteins such as TRM10 and TRMT5 within these modification pathways influencing the efficiency and accuracy of translation. It supports processes like tRNA maturation and ribosomal activity.

Associated diseases and disorders

Alterations in TRM1 activity can relate to mitochondrial pathologies. Mutations or deficiencies in TRM1 can disrupt mitochondrial function leading to disorders such as mitochondrial myopathy. Research also connects TRM1 aberrations to neurodegenerative diseases where it may interact with proteins like PINK1 highlighting its role in neuroprotective responses. The efficiency of TRM1 in performing its tasks is vital as any dysfunction can result in profound cellular consequences affecting human health.
