This domain is the methyltransferase domain found in ribosomal RNA large subunit methyltransferase K/L from Escherichia coli (RmlKL), tRNA (guanine(10)-N2)-dimethyltransferase from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii and similar proteins, which have a THUMP domain at the N-terminal [1-4].
The THUMP domain is named after after thiouridine synthases, methylases and PSUSs [1]. The THUMP domain consists of about 110 amino acid residues. This domain is found in many tRNA modification enzymes classified into five types, namely 4-thiouridine ...
The THUMP domain is named after after thiouridine synthases, methylases and PSUSs [1]. The THUMP domain consists of about 110 amino acid residues. This domain is found in many tRNA modification enzymes classified into five types, namely 4-thiouridine synthetase, deaminase, methyltransferase, a partner protein of acetyltransferase and pseudouridine synthase [3]. The structure of ThiI reveals that the THUMP has a fold unlike that of previously characterised RNA-binding domains [2-3] and was first predicted to function by delivering a variety of RNA modification enzymes to their targets [1]. Studies performed in tRNA 4-thiouridine synthetase, tRNA methyltransferases and tRNA deaminase suggest that the THUMP domain captures the 3'-end of RNA but in some cases this is not applicable due to the modification patterns observed in tRNA [3]. Several THUMP-related proteins are also involved in other RNAs modifications, such as rRNA modification [3].

This entry represents the NFLD domain, a domain found fused to the N-terminus of certain RNA methyltransferases (MTases), particularly in the TrmN/Trm14 family. The NFLD domain, which consists of a beta-sheet and two alpha-helices, was initially proposed to be an ancient RNA binding domain based on bioinformatics analyses. The NFLD domain is often fused to the minimal core of the THUMP domain, and together, they contribute to tRNA recognition and catalysis.
