Identification
Name:Ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase A
Synonyms:
  • 16S rRNA dimethyladenosine transferase
  • 16S rRNA dimethylase
  • High level kasugamycin resistance protein ksgA
  • Kasugamycin dimethyltransferase
  • S-adenosylmethionine-6-N', N'-adenosyl(rRNA) dimethyltransferase
Gene Name:rsmA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis
Specific Function: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
