Abstract excerpt
The 16S rRNA methyltransferase Sgm from "Micromonospora zionensis" confers resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics by specific modification of the 30S ribosomal A site. Sgm is a member of the FmrO family, distant relatives of the S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-dependent RNA subfamily of methyltransferase enzymes. Using amino acid conservation across the FmrO family, seven putative key amino acids were selected...
