16S rRNA (cytidine1402-2'-O)-methyltransferase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme 16S rRNA (cytidine¹⁴⁰²-2'-O)-methyltransferase (Template:EC number, RsmI, YraL) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:16S rRNA (cytidine¹⁴⁰²-2'-O)-methyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytidine¹⁴⁰² in 16S rRNA $\rightleftharpoons$ S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2'-O-methylcytidine¹⁴⁰² in 16S rRNA

RsmI catalyses the 2'-O-methylation of cytidine¹⁴⁰².
