16S rRNA (cytosine1407-C5)-methyltransferase

16S rRNA (cytosine1407-C5)-methyltransferase (, RNA m5C methyltransferase YebU, RsmF, YebU) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:16S rRNA (cytosine1407-C5)-methyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine1407 in 16S rRNA $$\rightleftharpoons$$ S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine1407 in 16S rRNA

The enzyme specifically methylates cytosine1407 at C5 in 16S rRNA.
