Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
C168A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation does not affect KsgA activity Escherichia coli
L114P site-directed mutagenesis of the active site residue, the KsgA mutant shows diminished overall activity, and impaired ability to methylate the N6-methyladenosine intermediate to produce N6,N6-dimethyladenosine. Reduced activity is not due to disruption of 30S substrate binding Escherichia coli
N113A site-directed mutagenesis of the active site residue, the KsgA mutant shows diminishes activity to a level comparable to L114P without affecting the methylation of N6-methyladenosine. Reduced activity is not due to disruption of 30S substrate binding Escherichia coli

After the S-adenosyl-L-methionine addition, KsgA dissociates rapidly from the subunits. The binding of KsgA to substrate is complex and requires regions of rRNA well beyond helix 45, including regions of the 790 loop Escherichia coli 4 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N6-dimethyladenine1518/N6-dimethyladenine1519 in 16S rRNA

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution the KsgA family belongs tothe group of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferases, known as class I MTases, KsgA is related to DNA adenosine methyltransferases, which transfer only a single methyl group to their target adenosine residue. Part of the discrimination between mono- and dimethyltransferase activity lies in a single residue in the active site, L114; this residue is part of a conserved motif, known as motif IV, which is common to a large group of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferases Escherichia coli
physiological function the KsgA methyltransferase is universally conserved and plays a key role in regulating ribosome biogenesis. KsgA has a complex reaction mechanism, transferring a total of four methyl groups onto two separate adenosine residues, A1518 and A1519, in the small subunit rRNA. This means that the active site pocket must accept both adenosine and N6-methyladenosine as substrates to catalyze formation of the final product N6,N6-dimethyladenosine Escherichia coli
