- MRNA (2'-O-methyladenosine-N6-)-methyltransferase
In
enzymology , a mRNA (2'-O-methyladenosine-N6-)-methyltransferase (EC number|2.1.1.62) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :S-adenosyl-L-methionine + m7G(5')pppAm S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + m7G(5')pppm6Am (mRNA containing an N6,2'-O-dimethyladenosine cap)
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and
m7G(5')pppAm , whereas its two products areS-adenosylhomocysteine andm7G(5')pppm6Am (mRNA containing an N6,2'-O-dimethyladenosine cap) .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:mRNA (2'-O-methyladenosine-N6-)-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include messenger ribonucleate 2'-O-methyladenosine NG-methyltransferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:mRNA, and (2'-O-methyladenosine-6-N-)-methyltransferase.References
