- RRNA (guanine-N2-)-methyltransferase
In
enzymology , a rRNA (guanine-N2-)-methyltransferase (EC number|2.1.1.52) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :S-adenosyl-L-methionine + rRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + rRNA containing N2-methylguanine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and
rRNA , whereas its two products areS-adenosylhomocysteine andrRNA containing N2-methylguanine .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 (guanine-N2-)-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include ribosomal ribonucleate guanine-2-methyltransferase, and S-adenosyl-L-methionine:rRNA (guanine-2-N-)-methyltransferase.tructural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB link|2PJD.
