23S rRNA (uridine2479-2'-O)-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.208, AviRb) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:23S rRNA (uridine2479-2'-O)-methyltransferase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + uridine2479 in 23S rRNA S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2'-O-methyluridine2479 in 23S rRNA

Streptomyces viridochromogenes produces the antibiotic avilamycin A which binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit to inhibit protein synthesis.
