S-Adenosylmethionine:tRNA ribosyltransferase-isomerase (EC 2.4.99.17, QueA enzyme, queuosine biosynthesis protein QueA) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanosine ribosyltransferase (ribosyl isomerizing; L-methionine, adenine releasing).[1][2][3][4][5][6] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanosine34 in tRNA [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] L-methionine + adenine + epoxyqueuosine34 in tRNA

The reaction is a combined transfer and isomerization of the ribose moiety of S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the modified guanosine base in the wobble position in tRNAs specific for Tyr, His, Asp or Asn.
