23S rRNA (guanine1835-N2)-methyltransferase (EC2.1.1.174, ygjO (gene), rlmG (gene), ribosomal RNA large subunit methyltransferase G) is an enzyme with systematic nameS-adenosyl-L-methionine:23S rRNA (guanine1835-N2)-methyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
The enzyme methylates 23S rRNA in vitro, assembled 50S subunits are not a substrate.
