16S rRNA (guanine1405-N7)-methyltransferase

Class of enzymes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

16S rRNA (guanine1405-N7)-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.179, methyltransferase Sgm, m7G1405 Mtase, Sgm Mtase, Sgm, sisomicin-gentamicin methyltransferase, sisomicin-gentamicin methylase, GrmA, RmtB, RmtC, ArmA) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:16S rRNA (guanine1405-N7)-methyltransferase.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanine1405 in 16S rRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 7-methylguanine1405 in 16S rRNA

The enzyme specifically methylates guanine1405 at N7 in 16S rRNA.
