Comment
Streptomyces viridochromogenes produces the antibiotic avilamycin A which binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit to inhibit protein synthesis. To protect itself from the antibiotic, Streptomyces viridochromogenes utilizes two methyltransferases, 23S rRNA (guanine2535-N1)-methyltransferase and EC 2.1.1.208 [23S rRNA (uridine2479-2-O)-methyltransferase], whose actions confer avilamycin resistance to the RNA.

Title
