Introduction

Pfam

This is a family of IPP transferases EC:2.5.1.8 also known as tRNA delta(2)-isopentenylpyrophosphate transferase. These enzymes modify both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial tRNAs at A(37) to give isopentenyl A(37) [2].

InterPro

tRNA dimethylallyltransferase alternative names include delta(2)-isopentenylpyrophosphate transferase, IPP transferral and 2-methylthio-N6-isopentyladenosine tRNA modification enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the first step in the modification of an adenosine near the anticodon to 2-methylthio-N6-isopentyladenosine.
