General Information

  • Identifier IPR024576
  • Description Ribosomal RNA methyltransferase Spb1, domain of unknown function DUF3381
  • Number of genes 158
  • Gene duplication stats Loading...

Abstract

This uncharacterised domain is found in eukaryotic rRNA methyltransferases like yeast Spb1 and mammalian homologue Ftsj3. Spb1 is required for proper assembly of pre-ribosomal particles during the biogenesis of the 60S ribosomal subunit [ 1 , 2 ].
