Enzyme Information

2.1.1.171
16S rRNA (guanine(966)-N(2))-methyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt P0ADX9
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanine(966) in 16S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine + N(2)-methylguanine(966) in 16S rRNA.
-!- The enzyme efficiently methylates guanine(966) of the assembled 30S subunits in vitro. -!- Protein-free 16S rRNA is not a substrate for RsmD. -!- The enzyme specifically methylates guanine(966) at N(2) in 16S rRNA. -!- Formerly EC 2.1.1.52.
