EC 2.1.1.296 Details
EC number
2.1.1.296
Accepted name
methyltransferase cap2
Reaction
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a 5′-(N7-methyl 5′-triphosphoguanosine)-(2′-O-methyl-ribonucleotide)-(ribonucleotide)-[mRNA] = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a 5′-(N7-methyl 5′-triphosphoguanosine)-(2′-O-methyl-ribonucleotide)-(2′-O-methyl-ribonucleotide)-[mRNA]
Other name(s)
CMTR2 (gene name), MTR2, cap2-MTase, mRNA (nucleoside-2′-O)-methyltransferase (ambiguous)
Systematic name
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:5′-(N7-methyl 5′-triphosphoguanosine)-(2′-O-methyl-ribonucleotide)-ribonucleotide-[mRNA] 2′-O-methyltransferase
Comment
The enzyme, found in higher eukaryotes including insects and vertebrates, and their viruses, methylates the ribose of the ribonucleotide at the second transcribed position of mRNAs and snRNAs. This methylation event is known as cap2. The human enzyme can also methylate mRNA molecules where the upstream ribonucleotide is not methylated (see EC 2.1.1.57, methyltransferase cap1), but with lower efficiency [2].
