Multi-site-specific 16S rRNA methyltransferase RsmF from Thermus thermophilus

Abstract: Cells devote a significant effort toward the production of multiple modified nucleotides in rRNAs, which fine tune the ribosome function. Here, we report that two methyltransferases, RsmB and RsmF, are responsible for all four 5-methylcytidine (m 5 C) modifications in 16S rRNA of Thermus thermophilus. Like Escherichia coli RsmB, T. thermophilus RsmB produces m 5 C967. In contrast to E. coli RsmF, which introduces a single m 5 C1407 modification, T. thermophilus RsmF modifies three positions, generating m 5 C14… Show more

“…A search for structural homologs to NSUN4 using Dali (26) revealed significant matches to other RNA m5C MTases (18,19,25), thus enabling a structural-based sequence alignment between NSUN4 and the E. coli structural homologs RsmF and RsmB, as well as RsmF from Thermus thermophilus (TTH) (Fig. S1B).…”

“…RsmF is an endogenous housekeeping methyltransferase found in Escherichia coli, and methylates the C5-position of C1407 in the ribosomal A-site without affecting aminoglycoside binding. Distinctive features in the structures of E. faecium EfmM, E. coli RsmF, and the most recently reported Thermus thermophilus RsmF (Demirci et al 2010) indicate the molecular basis for their respective nucleotide specificities.…”
