EC 2.1.1.260 Details
EC number
2.1.1.260
Accepted name
rRNA small subunit pseudouridine methyltransferase Nep1
Reaction
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + pseudouridine1191 in yeast 18S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N1-methylpseudouridine1191 in yeast 18S rRNA
Other name(s)
Nep1, nucleolar essential protein 1
Systematic name
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:18S rRNA (pseudouridine1191-N1)-methyltransferase
Comment
This enzyme, which occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, recognizes specific pseudouridine residues (Ψ) in small subunits of ribosomal RNA based on the local RNA structure. It recognizes Ψ914 in 16S rRNA from the archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, Ψ1191 in yeast 18S rRNA, and Ψ1248 in human 18S rRNA.
