Enables tRNA threonylcarbamoyladenosine dehydratase. Involved in cyclic threonylcarbamoyladenosine biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane.
SGD Description
tRNA threonylcarbamoyladenosine dehydratase; required for the ct6A tRNA base modification, where an adenosine at position 37 is modified to form a cyclized active ester with an oxazolone ring; localized to the mitochondrial outer membrane; TCD1 has a paralog, TCD2, that arose from the whole genome duplication
