2.1.1.171 |
Accepted name: |
16S rRNA (guanine966-N2)-methyltransferase |
Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanine966 in 16S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N2-methylguanine966 in 16S rRNA |
Other name(s): |
yhhF (gene name); rsmD (gene name); m2G966 methyltransferase |
Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:16S rRNA (guanine966-N2)-methyltransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme efficiently methylates guanine966 of the assembled 30S subunits in vitro. Protein-free 16S rRNA is not a substrate for RsmD [1]. The enzyme specifically methylates guanine966 at N2 in 16S rRNA. |
