Structural highlights
Function
[URM1_MOUSE] Acts as a sulfur carrier required for 2-thiolation of mcm(5)S(2)U at tRNA wobble positions of tRNA(Lys), tRNA(Glu) and tRNA(Gln). Serves as sulfur donor in tRNA 2-thiolation reaction by thiocarboxylated (-COSH) at its C-terminus by MOCS3. The sulfur is then transferred to tRNA to form 2-thiolation of mcm(5)S(2)U. May also act as an ubiquitin-like protein that is covalently conjugated to other proteins; the relevance of such function is however unclear in vivo (By similarity).
