General annotation (Comments)

Function

Heterodimeric methyltransferase that catalyzes N5-methylation of ETF1 on 'Gln-185', using S-adenosyl L-methionine as methyl donor. ETF1 needs to be complexed to ERF3 in its GTP-bound form to be efficiently methylated. Ref.5

Subunit structure

Heterodimer with TRMT112.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the eukaryotic/archaeal PrmC-related family.

Caution

Was originally (Ref.1) proposed to be a DNA methyltransferase, but was then shown (Ref.5) to be a protein methyltransferase.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q9Y5N5-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: Q9Y5N5-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     105-132: Missing.
