Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) modifications are involved in multiple biological processes. KsgA is a 16S rRNA adenine dimethyltransferase that methylates at the adenines 1518 and 1519 (A1518/1519) positions, which are located near the ribosome decoding center. These methylations are conserved and important for ribosome biogenesis and protein translation. In this study, we demonstrated the absence of A1518/1519 methylation...
