This domain is characterised by two well-conserved short regions separated by a variable region in both sequence and length. Proteins containing this domain have been characterised as methyltransferases. FkbM, was shown to be required for a specific methylation in the biosynthesis of the immunosuppressant FK506 in Streptomyces strain MA6548 [1]. This domain is also found in other methyltransferases such as SdnD from the fungus Sordaria araneosa, involved in the biosynthesis of glycoside antibiotics with tetracyclic diterpene aglycone structure [2].
