Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Tgs1 methyltransferase (MTase) is responsible for conversion of the m(7)G caps of snRNAs and snoRNAs to a 2,2,7- trimethylguanosine structure. To learn more about the evolutionary origin of Tgs1 and to identify structural features required for its activity, we performed a structure-function study. By using sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis, we found that Tgs1 shows...
