Adenosine dimethyltransferase
FunctionAdenosine 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). DiseaseRelevanceKsgA confers resistance to the antibiotic kasugomycin. Structural highlightsThe active site pocket of KsgA contains residues N113 and L114 which are part of motif IV SAM-dependent methyltrasferase sequence. The active site can acomodate both adenosine and methyladenosine. |
