THG1L also known as tRNA-histidine guanylyltransferase 1-like is an enzyme responsible for adding a guanine nucleotide to the 5' end of tRNA(His). This enzyme weighs approximately 48 kDa and is encoded by the THG1L gene. THG1L is highly conserved across eukaryotes and its expression is mostly observed in the mitochondria and cytosol of human cells. The protein ensures the proper modification and functioning of tRNA which is important for accurate protein synthesis.
Biological function summary

TRNA processing involves an important step facilitated by THG1L. This enzyme is important for maintaining the integrity of tRNA(His) by forming a specific guanine nucleotide cap at its 5' end. THG1L does not belong to any known large protein complex but works in coordination with other enzymes in the tRNA maturation process. It ensures the appropriate modifications in tRNAs which are essential for their correct recognition by ribosomes during translation.

Pathways

THG1L plays an essential role in the tRNA modification pathway particularly in histidine tRNA processing. The presence of THG1L facilitates the correct attachment of histidine to its tRNA therefore maintaining the fidelity of the translation process. This enzyme interacts with other proteins involved in the tRNA aminoacylation pathway including aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases which are important for the attachment of amino acids to their corresponding tRNAs during protein synthesis.

Researchers have investigated THG1L in the context of mitochondrial diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Abnormalities in THG1L function can lead to improper tRNA processing which may result in mitochondrial dysfunction or contribute to the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. The interaction of THG1L with mitochondrial proteins such as those involved in oxidative phosphorylation suggests a potential link between mutations in THG1L and mitochondrial-related diseases.

General info

Function

Adds a GMP to the 5'-end of tRNA(His) after transcription and RNase P cleavage. This step is essential for proper recognition of the tRNA and for the fidelity of protein synthesis (Probable). Also functions as a guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor/GEF for the MFN1 and MFN2 mitofusins thereby regulating mitochondrial fusion (PubMed : 25008184, PubMed : 27307223). By regulating both mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetic function, it contributes to cell survival following oxidative stress (PubMed : 25008184, PubMed : 27307223).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the tRNA(His) guanylyltransferase family.
