This domain is the methyltransferase domain found in ribosomal RNA large subunit methyltransferase K/L from Escherichia coli (RmlKL), tRNA (guanine(10)-N2)-dimethyltransferase from Methanocaldococcus jannaschii and similar proteins, which have a THUMP domain at the N-terminal [1-4].
The THUMP domain is named after after thiouridine synthases, methylases and PSUSs [1]. The THUMP domain consists of about 110 amino acid residues. This domain is found in many tRNA modification enzymes classified into five types, namely 4-thiouridine ...
The THUMP domain is named after after thiouridine synthases, methylases and PSUSs [1]. The THUMP domain consists of about 110 amino acid residues. This domain is found in many tRNA modification enzymes classified into five types, namely 4-thiouridine synthetase, deaminase, methyltransferase, a partner protein of acetyltransferase and pseudouridine synthase [3]. The structure of ThiI reveals that the THUMP has a fold unlike that of previously characterised RNA-binding domains [2-3] and was first predicted to function by delivering a variety of RNA modification enzymes to their targets [1]. Studies performed in tRNA 4-thiouridine synthetase, tRNA methyltransferases and tRNA deaminase suggest that the THUMP domain captures the 3'-end of RNA but in some cases this is not applicable due to the modification patterns observed in tRNA [3]. Several THUMP-related proteins are also involved in other RNAs modifications, such as rRNA modification [3].

This entry represents the ferredoxin-like domain found at the N-terminal of RmlL, referred to as NFLD domain usually fused to the THUMP domain [1]. Ribosomal RNA large subunit methyltransferase K/L from E.coli (also known as YcbY) specifically methylates the guanine in positions 2445 and 2069 of 23S rRNA before its assembly into 50S subunits [1].
