EC 2.1.1.229     
Accepted name: tRNA (carboxymethyluridine34-5-O)-methyltransferase
Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + carboxymethyluridine34 in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)uridine34 in tRNA
Glossary: 5-methoxycarboxymethyluridine = 5-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)uridine
Other name(s): ALKBH8; ABH8; Trm9; tRNA methyltransferase 9
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (carboxymethyluridine34-5-O)-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme catalyses the posttranslational modification of uridine residues at the wobble position 34 of the anticodon loop of tRNA.
