Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uridine2552 in 23S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2'-O-methyluridine2552 in 23S rRNA
Other name(s): Um(2552) 23S ribosomal RNA methyltransferase; heat shock protein RrmJ; RrmJ; FTSJ; Um2552 methyltransferase
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:23S rRNA (uridine2552-2'-O-)-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme catalyses the 2'-O methylation of the universally conserved U2552 in the A loop of 23S rRNA [3].
