Multisite-specific tRNA:(cytosine-C5)-methyltransferase (, multisite-specific tRNA:m5C-methyltransferase, TRM4 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (cytosine-C5)-methyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
(1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine<sup>34</sup> in tRNA precursor S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine<sup>34</sup> in tRNA precursor
(2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine<sup>40</sup> in tRNA precursor S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine<sup>40</sup> in tRNA precursor
(3) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine<sup>48</sup> in tRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine<sup>48</sup> in tRNA
(4) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine<sup>49</sup> in tRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine<sup>49</sup> in tRNA
The enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is responsible for complete 5-methylcytosine methylations of yeast tRNA.
