2.1.1.230 malfunction in the absence of the N-terminal domain, Tsr is catalytically inactive despite possessing the intact S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding sites and catalytic center. The Tsr-C-terminal domain dimer binds the RNA 30fold more weakly than the wild-type enzyme and is unable to promote the N-terminal domain-dependent RNA conformational change 736455 2.1.1.230 additional information each protomer of the homodimer containing an L30e-like amino-terminal domain and a SPOUT methyltransferase family catalytic carboxyl-terminal domain, both enzyme domains are required for high affinity RNA substrate binding. The Tsr-C-terminal domain has intrinsic, weak RNA affinity that is necessary to direct the specific high-affinity Tsr-RNA interaction via N-terminal domains, which have no detectable RNA affinity when isolated. The N-terminal domains increase RNA binding affinity and are necessary for catalysis, RNA binding mechanism, overview. The N-terminal domain of Tsr is an essential component of the RNA substrate recognition mechanism by both promoting high affinity RNA binding and activation of catalysis by the C-terminal domain 736455 2.1.1.230 additional information the NHR heterodimer requires only one functional subunit for RNA recognition and enzymatic activity. The catalytic residue is Arg135 737073 2.1.1.230 physiological function methylation at adenosine1067 in 23S rRNA is essential for resistance against nosiheptide, a sulfur peptide antibiotic, which is produced by the nosiheptide-producing strain, Streptomyces actuosus 711257 2.1.1.230 physiological function Streptomyces azureus is the producer of the peptide antibiotic thiostrepton. Thiostrepton inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the complex of 23S rRNA and protein L-11 which blocks processes associated with the GTP-hydrolysis center of the ribosome including the binding of guanine nucleotides, elongation factor proteins and tRNA. 23S rRNA (adenosine1067-2'-O)-methyltransferase confers resistance to thiostrepton 485514 2.1.1.230 physiological function the enzyme is involved in resistance to thiostrepton 485512 2.1.1.230 physiological function the methylase enzyme, responsible for autoimmunity in the thiostrepton producer Streptomyces azureus, renders ribosomes completely resistant to thiostrepton 485513 2.1.1.230 physiological function the nosiheptide producer Streptomyces actuosis prevents self-intoxication by expressing the enzyme, which methylates the 2'-hydroxyl of 23 S rRNA nucleotide adenosine 1067 within the antibiotic binding site. Methylation at A1067 blocks thiazole binding directly. This region of 23S rRNA is also the binding site for the ribosomal protein L11 737073 2.1.1.230 physiological function the thiostrepton producer Streptomyces azureus prevents self-intoxication by expressing the thiostrepton-resistance methyltransferase (Tsr), which methylates the 2'-hydroxyl of 23 S rRNA nucleotide adenosine 1067 within the thiostrepton binding site 736455
