Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uracil747 in 23S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methyluracil747 in 23S rRNA
Other name(s): YbjF; RumB; RNA uridine methyltransferase B
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:23S rRNA (uracil747-C5)-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme specifically methylates uracil747 at C5 in 23S rRNA.
