Methylation is the most common RNA modification in the three domains of life. Transfer of the methyl group from S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet) to specific atoms of RNA nucleotides is catalyzed by methyltransferase (MTase) enzymes. The rRNA MTase RlmI (rRNA large subunit methyltransferase gene I; previously known as YccW) specifically modifies Escherichia coli 23S rRNA at nucleotide C1962 to form 5-methylcytosine ...
