Multisite-specific tRNA:(cytosine-C5)-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.202, multisite-specific tRNA:m5C-methyltransferase, TRM4 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (cytosine-C5)-methyltransferase.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine34 in tRNA precursor S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine34 in tRNA precursor
(2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine40 in tRNA precursor S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine40 in tRNA precursor
(3) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine48 in tRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine48 in tRNA
(4) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine49 in tRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine49 in tRNA

The enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is responsible for complete 5-methylcytosine methylations of yeast tRNA.
