Introduction

Pfam

This is the catalytic core of this SAM-dependent 16S ribosomal methyltransferase RsmB/F enzyme [1,2]. There is a catalytic cysteine residue at 180 in UniProtKB:Q5SII2 with another highly conserved cysteine at residue 230. It methylates the C(5) position of cytosine 2870 (m5C2870) in 25S rRNA [1,2].

InterPro

The C-terminal catalytic domain of ribosomal RNA cysteine methyltransferases is highly conserved in archaeal, bacterial and eukaryotic proteins [PUBMED:21123870], such as ribosomal RNA methyltransferase B (RsmB, Sun, Fmu) and Nop2. Escherichia coli RsmB methylates cysteine C967 in 16S rRNA [PUBMED:21123870]. Nop2 methylates cysteine C2870 in the 25S rRNA of S. cerevisiae [PUBMED:23913415] and is critical for 60S biogenesis [PUBMED:8972218].
