- RRNA (adenosine-2'-O-)-methyltransferase
In
enzymology , a rRNA (adenosine-2'-O-)-methyltransferase (EC number|2.1.1.66) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :S-adenosyl-L-methionine + rRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + rRNA containing a single residue of 2'-O-methyladenosine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and
rRNA , whereas its two products areS-adenosylhomocysteine andrRNA containing a single residue of 2'-O-methyladenosine .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:rRNA (adenosine-2'-O)-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include ribosomal ribonucleate adenosine 2'-methyltransferase, rRNA adenosine 2'-methylase, RNA-pentose methylase, and thiostrepton-resistance methylase.References
