Multifunctional methyltransferase subunit TRM112-like protein

Definition:

Acts as an activator of both rRNA/tRNA and protein methyltransferases. Together with methyltransferase BUD23, methylates the N(7) position of a guanine in 18S rRNA. The heterodimer with N6AMT1/HEMK2 catalyzes N5-methylation of ETF1 on 'Gln-185', using S-adenosyl L-methionine as methyl donor. The heterodimer with N6AMT1/HEMK2 also monomethylates 'Lys-12' of histone H4 (H4K12me1). The heterodimer with ALKBH8 catalyzes the methylation of 5-carboxymethyl uridine to 5-methylcarboxymethyl uridine at the wobble position of the anticodon loop in target tRNA species. Together with methyltransferase THUMPD3, catalyzes the formation of N(2)-methylguanosine at position 6 in a broad range of tRNA substrates and at position 7 of tRNA(Trp). Involved in the pre-rRNA processing steps leading to small-subunit rRNA production. Together with methyltransferase METTL5, specifically methylates the 6th position of adenine in position 1832 of 18S rRNA.
