Small RNA 2'-O-methyltransferase

UniProtKB accession:  Q9C5Q8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Methyltransferase that adds a methyl group to the ribose of the last nucleotide of small RNAs (sRNAs). This protects the 3'-end of sRNAs from uridylation activity and subsequent degradation. Can methylate 3'-end of microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNas) and trans-acting small interfering RNAs (ta-siRNAs). Involved in plant development through its role in small RNAs processing. Required for the specification of reproductive organ identities and the probable repression of A class genes. May control floral determinacy possibly by regulating the expression of the C class floral homeotic gene AGAMOUS (AG).
