2.1.1.185 |
Accepted name: |
23S rRNA (guanosine2251-2′-O)-methyltransferase |
Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanosine2251 in 23S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2′-O-methylguanosine2251 in 23S rRNA |
Other name(s): |
rlmB (gene name); yifH (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:23S rRNA (guanosine2251-2′-O-)-methyltransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme catalyses the methylation of guanosine2251, a modification conserved in the peptidyltransferase domain of 23S rRNA. |
