16S rRNA (cytosine1407-C5)-methyltransferase (
EC2.1.1.178, RNA m5C methyltransferase YebU, RsmF, YebU) is an
enzyme with
systematic nameS-adenosyl-L-methionine:16S rRNA (cytosine1407-C5)-methyltransferase.[1][2] This enzyme
catalyses the following
chemical reaction
The enzyme specifically methylates cytosine1407 at C5 in 16S rRNA.
