23S RIBOSOMAL RNA G2251 2'O-METHYLTRANSFERASE RLMB
|
Overview
In Escherichia coli, RlmB catalyzes the methylation of guanosine 2251, a, modification conserved in the peptidyltransferase domain of 23S rRNA. The, crystal structure of this 2'O-methyltransferase has been determined at 2.5, A resolution. RlmB consists of an N-terminal domain connected by a, flexible extended linker to a catalytic C-terminal domain and forms a, dimer in solution. The C-terminal domain displays a divergent, methyltransferase fold with a unique knotted region, and lacks the classic, AdoMet binding site features. The N-terminal domain is similar to, ribosomal proteins L7 and L30, suggesting a role in 23S rRNA recognition., The conserved residues in this novel family of 2'O-methyltransferases, cluster in the knotted region, suggesting the location of the catalytic, and AdoMet binding sites.
