S-adenosyl-L-methionine + adenine1408 in 16S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N1-methyladenine1408 in 16S rRNA
Substrate
S-adenosyl-L-methionine [CPD:C00019];
adenine1408 in 16S rRNA
Product
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD:C00021];
N1-methyladenine1408 in 16S rRNA
Comment
The enzyme provides a panaminoglycoside-resistant nature through interference with the binding of aminoglycosides toward the A site of 16S rRNA through N1-methylation at position adenine1408 [4].
Identification of a missing sequence and functionally important residues of 16S rRNA:m(1)A1408 methyltransferase KamB that causes bacterial resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics.
