16S/23S rRNA (cytidine-2'-O)-methyltransferase TlyA

UniProtKB accession:  P9WJ63

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Acts as a host evasion factor, that significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of M.tuberculosis by modulating adaptive immune responses by inhibiting host-protective Th1 and Th17 cytokine responses as well as autophagy (PubMed:25847237). Catalyzes the 2'-O-methylation at nucleotides C1409 in 16S rRNA and C1920 in 23S rRNA (PubMed:16857584, PubMed:20854656). Is likely involved in ribosomal biogenesis (PubMed:21443791). Also exhibits hemolytic activity in vitro, by binding with and oligomerizing into host cell membranes (PubMed:20854656, PubMed:9611795).
