nsun-5 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables rRNA (cytosine-C5-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cellular response to heat; negative regulation of locomotion involved in locomotory behavior; and positive regulation of rRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Used to study Williams-Beuren syndrome. Is an ortholog of human NSUN5 (NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 5).
