Scientific Background: TRDMT1 is responsible for the methylation of aspartic acid transfer RNA, specifically at the cytosine-38 residue in the anticodon loop. TRDMT1 also possesses residual DNA-(cytosine-C5) methyltransferase activity. While similar in sequence and structure to DNA cytosine methyltransferases, TRDMT1 is distinct and highly conserved in its function among various species. The indirect sequence recognition is also a feature of eukaryotic DNA methyltransferases, which may have arisen from a DNMT2-like RNA methyltransferase (1). DNMT2 is involved in retrotransposon silencing and telomere integrity in somatic cells (2).

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein responsible for the methylation of aspartic acid transfer RNA, specifically at the cytosine-38 residue in the anticodon loop. This enzyme also possesses residual DNA-(cytosine-C5) methyltransferase activity. While similar in sequence and structure to DNA cytosine methyltransferases, this gene is distinct and highly conserved in its function among taxa. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
Uniprot Description
Function: Specifically methylates cytosine 38 in the anticodon loop of tRNA(Asp). Ref.9
Catalytic activity: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine38 in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine38 in tRNA. Ref.9
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Probable.
Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous. Higher expression in testis, ovary and thymus and at much lower levels in spleen, prostate, colon, small intestine, and peripheral blood leukocytes.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. C5-methyltransferase family.Contains 1 SAM-dependent MTase C5-type domain.

Product Notes
The TRDMT1 (DNMT2) trdmt1 (Catalog #AAA515267) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Sf9 insect cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The tag for this protein is GST tag!!Expression System||Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus!!Source Note||Recombinant full-length human TRDMT1 (DNMT2) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells. AAA Biotech's TRDMT1 (DNMT2) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TRDMT1 (DNMT2) trdmt1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "TRDMT1 (DNMT2), Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
