Ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase F

UniProtKB accession:  Q5SII2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Specifically methylates the cytosines at positions 1400 (m5C1400), 1404 (m5C1404) and 1407 (m5C1407) of 16S rRNA. C1400, C1404 and C1407 are methylated in a 30S subunit substrate, but only C1400 and C1404 are methylated when naked 16S rRNA is the substrate. Methylation by RsmF may facilitate growth at temperatures outside the optimal growth temperature.
