DIMT1 (DIM1 dimethyladenosine transferase 1 homolog) belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. This enzyme is specifically dimethylates two adjacent adenosines in the loop of a conserved hairpin near the 3-end of 18S rRNA in the 40S particle. It functions to dimethylate adjacent adenosines on the conserved hairpin loop of 18S rRNA in the 40S particle. DIMT1L is localized to the nucleolus. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-313 of human DIMT1, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
