#11762 ntr: tRNA-5-taurinomethyluridine 2-sulfurtransferase

[Rama balakrishnan]

Hi,

I would like a new MF term. Details below:
Term name: tRNA-5-taurinomethyluridine 2-sulfurtransferase
Definition: Catalysis of 5-taurinomethyluridine in tRNA + a [protein]-S-sulfanylcysteine + ATP + an reduced unknown electron acceptor = a 5-taurinomethyl-2-thiouridine in tRNA + a [protein]-L-cysteine + AMP + an oxidized unknown electron acceptor + diphosphate + H+

PMID: 15509579

MetaCyc has created a reaction for this activity in case you want to check it out.

They have also submitted a ticket for a EC # for this reaction.
Thanks,

Rama

Jumping in late to make a fussy point: perhaps delete "unknown" from the description of the electron acceptor in the definition so that it will also apply to cases where an electron acceptor has been identified.
