Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanine1516 in 16S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N2-methylguanine1516 in 16S rRNA
Other name(s): yhiQ (gene name); rsmJ (gene name); m2G1516 methyltransferase
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:16S rRNA (guanine1516-N2)-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme specifically methylates guanine1516 at N2 in 16S rRNA.
