| Accepted name: |
27S pre-rRNA (guanosine2922-2′-O)-methyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanosine2922 in 27S pre-rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2′-O-methylguanosine2922 in 27S pre-rRNA |
| Other name(s): |
Spb1p (gene name); YCL054W (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:27S pre-rRNA (guanosine2922-2′-O-)-methyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Spb1p is a site-specific 2′-O-ribose RNA methyltransferase that catalyses the formation of 2′-O-methylguanosine2922, a universally conserved position of the catalytic center of the ribosome that is essential for translation. 2′-O-Methylguanosine2922 is formed at a later stage of the processing, during the maturation of of the 27S pre-rRNA. In absence of snR52, Spb1p can also catalyse the formation of uridine2921 [1]. |
