The N1-atom of guanosine at position 37 in transfer RNA (tRNA) is methylated by tRNA methyltransferase 5 (Trm5) in eukaryotes and archaea, and by tRNA methyltransferase D (TrmD) in bacteria. The resultant modified nucleotide m1G37 positively regulates the aminoacylation of the tRNA, and simultaneously functions to prevent the +1 frameshift on the ribosome. Interestingly, Trm5 and TrmD have completely distinct origins, and therefore bear different tertiary folds. In this review, we describe the different strategies utilized by Trm5 and TrmD to recognize their substrate tRNAs, mainly based on their crystal structures complexed with substrate tRNAs.
