1.3.1.88

Accepted name:

tRNA-dihydrouridine^16/17 synthase [NAD(P)⁺]

Reaction:

(1) 5,6-dihydrouracil¹⁶ in tRNA + NAD(P)⁺ = uracil¹⁶ in tRNA + NAD(P)H + H⁺
(2) 5,6-dihydrouracil¹⁷ in tRNA + NAD(P)⁺ = uracil¹⁷ in tRNA + NAD(P)H + H⁺

Other name(s):

Dus1p; tRNA-dihydrouridine synthase 1

Systematic name:

tRNA-5,6-dihydrouracil^16/17:NAD(P)⁺ oxidoreductase

Comments:

A flavoprotein. The enzyme specifically modifies uracil¹⁶ and uracil¹⁷ in tRNA.
