This gene encodes a regulator of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 activity. This protein has also been reported to modify RNA by adding a methylthio-group and may thus have a dual function as an RNA methylthiotransferase and as an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent k

Mitochondrial tRNA methylthiotransferase CDK5RAP1 (EC 2.8.4.3) (CDK5 activator-binding protein C42) (CDK5 regulatory subunit-associated protein 1) (mt-tRNA-2-methylthio-N6-dimethylallyladenosine synthase) (mt-tRNA-N6-(dimethylallyl)adenosine(37) methylthi
Protein function
Methylthiotransferase that catalyzes the conversion of N6-(dimethylallyl)adenosine (i(6)A) to 2-methylthio-N6-(dimethylallyl)adenosine (ms(2)i(6)A) at position 37 (adjacent to the 3'-end of the anticodon) of four mitochondrial DNA-encoded tRNAs
