TRIT1 transfers a dimethylallyl group (isopentenyl group) from dimethylallyl diphosphate to the N6 position of adenosine-37 in tRNA(Ser), yielding N6-dimethylallyladenosine-37 (N6-isopentenyladenosine-37) (Golovko et al. 2000, Spinola et al. 2005, Lamichhane et al. 2013, Yarham et al. 2014, Smaldino et al. 2015). TRIT1 modifies both cytosolic and mitochondrial tRNAs and a mutation in TRIT1 causes mitochondrial respiratory defects (Yarham et al. 2014). Expression of TRIT1 is down-regulated in lung adenocarcinomas compared with normal tissue (Spinola et al. 2005). The homologue in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, MOD5, catalyzes the same reaction.
