pfam11861: DUF3381 (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Ribosomal RNA methyltransferase Spb1, DUF3381
This domain is functionally uncharacterised and it is found in the central region of fungal SPB1 and mammalian homologue FTSJ3. This domain is found associated with pfam07780, pfam01728. SPB1 is an adoMet-dependent rRNA methyltransferase required for proper assembly of pre-ribosomal particles during the biogenesis of the 60S ribosomal subunit. FTSJ3, SPB1 homologue in humans, is associated with NIP7 (involved in the biogenesis of 40S subunit) and functions in pre-rRNA processing.
