Enzyme Information

2.1.1.209
23S rRNA (guanine(2535)-N(1))-methyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9F5K5
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanine(2535) in 23S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine + N(1)-methylguanine(2535) in 23S rRNA.
-!- Streptomyces viridochromogenes produces the antibiotic avilamycin A which binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit to inhibit protein synthesis. -!- To protect itself from the antibiotic, Streptomyces viridochromogenes utilizes two methyltransferases, 23S rRNA (guanine(2535)-N(1))- methyltransferase and EC 2.1.1.208 whose actions confer avilamycin resistance to the RNA.
