Loss of U1498 methylation in 16S rRNA by RsmE methyltransferase associates its role with aminoglycoside resistance in mycobacteria
10 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Modulation of methylation pattern through mutations in ribosomal methyltransferases is a key mechanism of bacterial drug resistance. However, RsmG (GidB), which specifically methylates G527 in 16S rRNA, remains the only conserved methyltransferase known to be associated with low-level drug resistance in mycobacterial isolates. The mycobacterial RsmE homologue methylates U1498 in 16S rRNA in a highly...
