2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + adenine2503 in 23S rRNA | S-adenosyl-L-methionine is both the methyl donor and the source of a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical, which activates the substrate for methylation. The enzyme can utilize protein-free 23S rRNA as a substrate, but not the fully assembled large ribosomal subunit, suggesting that the methylations take place during the assembly of the ribosome. The key recognition elements in the 23S rRNA are helices 90-92 and the adjacent single stranded RNA that encompasses A2503 | Escherichia coli K-12 | S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + L-methionine + 5'-deoxyadenosine + 2-methyladenine2503 in 23S rRNA | identification of the reaction product as 2-methyladenine2503 | ? |
