Homolog of bacterial MnmE and yeast Mss1.
The protein exists in several isoforms. Presented sequence refers to isoform I (also known as V). This locus encodes a GTP-binding protein. The encoded protein is localized to the mitochondria and may play a role in mitochondrial tRNA modification. GTPase involved in the 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl modification (mnm5s2U34) of the wobble uridine base in mitochondrial tRNAs
A human mitochondrial GTP binding protein related to tRNA modification may modulate phenotypic expression of the deafness-associated mitochondrial 12S rRNA mutation.
