Ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase A

UniProtKB accession:  P06992

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Specifically dimethylates two adjacent adenosines (A1518 and A1519) in the loop of a conserved hairpin near the 3'-end of 16S rRNA in the 30S particle. May play a critical role in biogenesis of 30S subunits. Has also a DNA glycosylase/AP lyase activity that removes C mispaired with oxidized T from DNA, and may play a role in protection of DNA against oxidative stress.
