Introduction
Post-transcriptional modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) occurs in all living organisms. In bacteria, rRNA modifications are done by site-specific enzymes. One such rRNA modification enzyme is a S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) dependent methyltransferase RlmJ. The biochemical experiments showed that the Escherichia coli RlmJ transfers a methyl group from SAM to the exocyclic nitrogen N6 of adenosine A2030 (m6A2030) in the 23S rRNA.
