FunctionFunction
Adenosine dimethyltransferase (KsgA) dimethylates two adjacent adenines at the C-terminal of the 16S rRNA in the small 30S ribosomal subunit, thus modifying it. KsgA catalyzes the dimethylation of adenines 1518-1519 using S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) as the methyl donor and producing S-adenosyl-homocysteine (SAH).

KsgA confers resistance to the antibiotic kasugomycin.
