RTCB is the catalytic subunit of the metazoan tRNA ligase complex (tRNA-LC) that plays essential roles in tRNA biogenesis and unfolded protein response. The catalytic center of RTCB contains a conserved cysteine that is susceptible to metal ion-induced oxidative inactivation. The flavin-containing oxidoreductase PYROXD1 preserves the activity of mammalian tRNA-LC in a NAD(P)H-dependent manner, but its protective mechanism remains elusive. Here we report a cryo-EM structure of human RTCB in complex with PYROXD1, revealing that PYROXD1 directly interacts with the catalytic center of RTCB through its C-terminal tail. NAD(P)H binding and FAD reduction allosterically control PYROXD1 activity and RTCB recruitment and PYROXD1, while PYROXD1 reoxidation enables timed release of RTCB. PYROXD1 interaction is mutually exclusive with Archease-mediated RTCB guanylylation, and guanylylated RTCB is intrinsically protected from oxidative inactivation. Together, these findings provide a mechanistic framework for the protective function of PYROXD1 that maintains the activity of tRNA-LC under aerobic conditions. |
