Abstract excerpt
S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent rRNA dimethylases mediate the methylation of two conserved adenosines near the 3' end of the rRNA in the small ribosomal subunits of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. Proteins related to this family of dimethylases play an essential role as transcription factors (mtTFBs) in fungal and animal mitochondria. Human mitochondrial rRNA is methylated and human mitochondria contain two...
