Introduction

Pfam

RNA methyltransferases modify nucleotides during ribosomal RNA maturation in a site-specific manner. The Escherichia coli member is specific for U1498 methylation [1].

Methyltransferases (Mtases) are responsible for the transfer of methyl groups between two molecules. The transfer of the methyl group from the ubiquitous S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) to either nitrogen, oxygen or carbon atoms is frequently employed in diverse organisms. The reaction is catalyzed by Mtases and modifies DNA, RNA, proteins or small molecules, such as catechol, for regulatory purposes. Proteins in this entry belong to the RsmE family of Mtases, this is supported by crystal structural studying, which show a close structural homology to other known methyltransferases [PUBMED:14517985].
