16S rRNA (cytosine967-C5)-methyltransferase (
EC2.1.1.176, rsmB (gene), fmu (gene), 16S rRNA m5C967 methyltransferase) is an
enzyme with
systematic nameS-adenosyl-L-methionine:16S rRNA (cytosine967-C5)-methyltransferase.[1][2][3] This enzyme
catalyses the following
chemical reaction
The enzyme specifically methylates cytosine967 at C5 in 16S rRNA.
