2.1.1.208

Accepted name:

23S rRNA (uridine²⁴⁷⁹-2′-O)-methyltransferase

Reaction:

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uridine²⁴⁷⁹ in 23S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2′-O-methyluridine²⁴⁷⁹ in 23S rRNA

Other name(s):

AviRb

Systematic name:

S-adenosyl-L-methionine:23S rRNA (uridine²⁴⁷⁹-2′-O)-methyltransferase

Comments:

Streptomyces viridochromogenes produces the antibiotic avilamycin A which binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit to inhibit protein synthesis. To protect itself from the antibiotic, Streptomyces viridochromogenes utilizes two methyltransferases, 23S rRNA (uridine²⁴⁷⁹-2′-O)-methyltransferase and EC 2.1.1.209 [23S rRNA (guanine²⁵³⁵-N¹)-methyltransferase], whose actions confer avilamycin resistance to the RNA.
