General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | the phenotype of yhiR knockout gene is very mild under various growth conditions and at the stationary phase, except for a small growth advantage at anaerobic conditions. A very small subset of genes is affected by yhiR inactivation, while the majority of the proteome remains independent of the A2030 modification. Lack of modification at the 23S rRNA nucleotide: A2030 does not cause the accumulation of assembly intermediates. Phenotype of the yhiR gene knockout, overview | Escherichia coli |
additional information | the yhiR gene should be renamed to rlmJ according to the rRNA methyltransferase nomenclature | Escherichia coli |
physiological function | the yhiR gene of Escherichia coli is solely responsible for the N6-methylation of A2030 of the 23S rRNA. Nucleotide m6A2030, buried inside the large ribosomal subunit close to the peptidyltransferase center, forms a strong stacked contact with the U571 residue of the 23S rRNA, thus connecting structural elements of domains II and V located at half-23S rRNA length distance in the primary structure. Modification of the 23S rRNA nucleotide A2030 occurs early in the 50S subunit assembly | Escherichia coli |
