Gene: TYW1

Alternate names for this Gene: RSAFD1|TYW1A|YPL207W

Gene Summary: Wybutosine (yW) is a hypermodified guanosine found in phenylalanine tRNA adjacent to the anticodon that stabilizes codon-anticodon interactions in the ribosome. In yeast, the homolog of this gene is essential for the synthesis of wybutosine. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q11.21

Description of this Gene: tRNA-yW synthesizing protein 1 homolog

Type of Gene: protein-coding
