General annotation (Comments)

Function

Specifically dimethylates two adjacent adenosines (A1518 and A1519) in the loop of a conserved hairpin near the 3'-end of 16S rRNA in the 30S particle. May play a critical role in biogenesis of 30S subunits. Has also a DNA glycosylase/AP lyase activity that removes C mispaired with oxidized T from DNA, and may play a role in protection of DNA against oxidative stress. Ref.1 Ref.8 Ref.11

Catalytic activity

4 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + adenine(1518)/adenine(1519) in 16S rRNA = 4 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(6)-dimethyladenine(1518)/N(6)-dimethyladenine(1519) in 16S rRNA. HAMAP MF_00607

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm Potential HAMAP MF_00607.

Disruption phenotype

Inactivation leads to kasugamycin resistance. Cells lacking this gene show cold-sensitivity phenotype, altered ribosome profiles, and small subunit rRNA-processing defects. Ref.1 Ref.11

Miscellaneous

When overexpressed partially suppresses the slow growth and decreased 70S ribosome phenotype of an rsgA knockout; RsgA may be involved in 30S ribosomal subunit biogenesis. Upon overexpression also restores cold-sensitive growth of a missense mutation in Era. HAMAP MF_00607

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. rRNA adenine N(6)-methyltransferase family. RsmA subfamily.

Experimental info

Mutagenesis661E → A: Loss of activity. Overexpression of the mutant has a negative effect on cell growth, probably because it sequesters the small subunits in the free form and limits their participation in the translation cycle. Ref.11
