Reaction Scheme: 23S rRNA (adenine2503-C2)-methyltransferase, Radical SAM Superfamily Reaction 203

Scheme name: 23S rRNA (adenine2503-C2)-methyltransferase, Radical SAM Superfamily
Reaction: 23S rRNA (adenine2503-C2)-methyltransferase
Description:Catalyzes C2 methylation of adenosine 2503 (A2503) of 23S rRNA. A key feature of the unusual mechanisms of catalysis proposed for these enzymes is the attack of a methylene radical, derived from a methylcysteine residue, onto the carbon center undergoing methylation to generate a paramagnetic protein-nucleic acid cross-linked species.
