A variety of RNA methyltransferases act during ribosomal RNA maturation to modify nucleotides in a site-specific manner. However, of the 10 base-methylated nucleotides present in the small ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli, only three enzymes responsible for modification of four bases are known. Here, we show that the protein encoded by yggJ, a member of the uncharacterized DUF558 protein family of predicted alpha/beta (trefoil) knot methyltransferases is responsible for methylation at U1498 in 16S rRNA. The gene is well-conserved across bacteria and plants, and likely performs the same function in other organisms. A yggJ deletion strain lacks the methyl group at U1498 as well as the specific methyltransferase activity. Moreover, purified recombinant YggJ specifically methylates m3U1498 in vitro. The deletion strain was unaffected in exponential growth in rich or minimal media at multiple temperatures, but it was defective when grown in competition with isogenic wild-type cells. Based on these data, we conclude that yggJ is the founding member of a family of RNA base methyltransferases, and propose that it be renamed rsmE. << Less

The small ribosome subunit of Escherichia coli contains 10 base-methylated sites distributed in important functional regions. At present, seven enzymes responsible for methylation of eight bases are known, but most of them have not been well characterized. One of these enzymes, RsmE, was recently identified and shown to specifically methylate U1498. Here we describe the enzymatic properties and substrate specificity of RsmE. The enzyme forms dimers in solution and is most active in the presence of 10-15 mM Mg(2+) and 100 mM NH(4)Cl at pH 7-9; however, in the presence of spermidine, Mg(2+) is not required for activity. While small ribosome subunits obtained from an RsmE deletion strain can be methylated by purified RsmE, neither 70S ribosomes nor 50S subunits are active. Likewise, 16S rRNA obtained from the mutant strain, synthetic 16S rRNA, and 3' minor domain RNA are all very poor or inactive as substrates. 30S particles partially depleted of proteins by treatment with high concentrations of LiCl or in vitro reconstituted intermediate particles also show little or no methyl acceptor activity. Based on these data, we conclude that RsmE requires a highly structured ribonucleoprotein particle as a substrate for methylation, and that methylation events in the 3' minor domain of 16S rRNA probably occur late during 30S ribosome assembly. << Less
