TFB1M is a mitochondrial methyltransferase, which uses S-adenosyl methionine to dimethylate two highly conserved adenosine residues at the 3'-end of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA thereby regulating the assembly or stability of the small subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome.[6][8][9]
Additionally, TFB1M has been demonstrated to stimulate transcription from promoter templates in an in vitro system containing recombinant mitochondrial RNA polymerase and TFAM.[10] There are no experimental data demonstrating that this function occurs in vivo; the paralogous TFB2M is more specific for this role.[11]
