Enzyme Information

2.1.1.n8
Small RNA 2'-O-methyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9C5Q8
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + small RNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + small RNA containing a 3'-terminal 2'-O-methylnucleotide.
-!- Adds a methyl group to the ribose of the last nucleotide of small RNAs (sRNAs). -!- This protects the 3'-end of sRNAs from uridylation activity and subsequent degradation. -!- Can methylates 3'-end of microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNas) and trans-acting small interfering RNAs (ta-siRNAs).
