General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution YccW directed methylation at nucleotide C1962 is conserved in bacteria Escherichia coli
malfunction inactivation of the yccW gene leads to loss of methylation at nucleotide 1962 in Escherichia coli 23S rRNA. This methylation is restored by complementing the knockout strain with a plasmid-encoded copy of the yccW gene. Loss of this methylation in Escherichia coli results in a slight growth defect compared to wild-type cells during competitive growth experiments in rich or minimal medium Escherichia coli
