Description
Streptomyces viridochromogenes produces the antibiotic avilamycin A which binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit to inhibit protein synthesis. To protect itself from the antibiotic, Streptomyces viridochromogenes utilizes two methyltransferases, 23S rRNA (uridine2479-2'-O)-methyltransferase and EC 2.1.1.209 [23S rRNA (guanine2535-N1)-methyltransferase], whose actions confer avilamycin resistance to the RNA.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Reaction
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uridine2479 in 23S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2'-O-methyluridine2479 in 23S rRNA
