16S rRNA (uracil1498-N3)-methyltransferase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme 16S rRNA (uracil¹⁴⁹⁸-N³)-methyltransferase (Template:EC number, DUF558 protein, YggJ, RsmE, m3U1498 specific methyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:16S rRNA (uracil¹⁴⁹⁸-N³)-methyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uracil¹⁴⁹⁸ in 16S rRNA $\rightleftharpoons$ S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N³-methyluracil¹⁴⁹⁸ in 16S rRNA

The enzyme specifically methylates uracil¹⁴⁹⁸ at N³ in 16S rRNA.
