EC 2.1.1.226     
Accepted name: 23S rRNA (cytidine1920-2′-O)-methyltransferase
Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytidine1920 in 23S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2′-O-methylcytidine1920 in 23S rRNA
Other name(s): TlyA (ambiguous)
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:23S rRNA (cytidine1920-2′-O)-methyltransferase
Comments: The bifunctional enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis 2′-O-methylates cytidine1920 in helix 69 of 23S rRNA and cytidine1409 in helix 44 of 16S rRNA (cf. EC 2.1.1.227, 16S rRNA (cytidine1409-2′-O)-methyltransferase). These methylations result in increased susceptibility to the antibiotics capreomycin and viomycin.
