Product Specs

Introduction
Mitochondrial rRNA methyltransferase 1 homolog (MRM1), a member of the RNA methyltransferase TrmH family, is responsible for methylating the ribose of guanosine G-2270 within the peptidyl transferase center of the mitochondrial large ribosomal RNA (21S).
Description
Recombinant MRM1 protein, produced in E. coli, is a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 38.8 kDa. This protein consists of 356 amino acids (residues 21-353) and includes a 23 amino acid His-tag fused at the N-terminus. Purification is achieved through proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless, and sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The MRM1 solution is provided at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml and is formulated in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.15 M NaCl, 30% glycerol, 1 mM DTT, and 0.1 mM PMSF.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the solution should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the solution at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised for long-term storage. It is important to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity exceeds 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms
Mitochondrial rRNA methyltransferase 1 homolog, rRNA methyltransferase 1, mitochondrial, Mitochondrial large ribosomal RNA ribose methylase, MRM1.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Information
  • Gene Symbol: MRM1
  • Aliases: 16S RRNA (Guanosine (1145)-2’-O)-Methyltransferase, RRNA Methyltransferase 1, Mitochondrial, FLJ22578, Mitochondrial Large Ribosomal RNA Ribose Methylase .
  • Enzyme Classification: EC 2.1.1.- .
  • Protein Structure: The recombinant human MRM1 protein is often expressed with an N-terminal His-tag for purification purposes. It consists of amino acids 21-353 and has a theoretical molecular weight of approximately 38.8 kDa .
Function and Mechanism

MRM1 is an S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent 2’-O-ribose methyltransferase. It catalyzes the formation of 2’-O-methylguanosine at position 1145 in the 16S mtLSU rRNA . This methylation is essential for the proper functioning of the mitochondrial ribosome, particularly in the peptidyl transferase center, which is crucial for protein synthesis within mitochondria .

Biological Significance

The methylation of rRNA by MRM1 is a critical post-transcriptional modification that ensures the stability and functionality of the mitochondrial ribosome. Proper methylation is necessary for accurate and efficient protein synthesis, which is vital for mitochondrial function and energy production .

Associated Diseases

Mutations or dysregulation of the MRM1 gene have been associated with various diseases, including:

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease 23
  • Chromosome 17Q11.2 Deletion Syndrome .
Research and Applications

Recombinant human MRM1 protein is widely used in research to study its function and role in mitochondrial biology. It is typically expressed in E. coli and purified using conventional chromatography techniques . This recombinant protein is valuable for investigating the mechanisms of rRNA methylation and its impact on mitochondrial function.
