Bcdin3d (NM_029236) Mouse Recombinant Protein

O-methyltransferase that specifically monomethylates 5'-monophosphate of cytoplasmic histidyl tRNA, acting as a capping enzyme. Less efficiently, also methylates the 5' monophosphate of pre-miRNAs, acting as a negative regulator of miRNA processing. The 5' monophosphate of pre-miRNAs is recognized by DICER1 and is required for pre-miRNAs processing: methylation at this position reduces the processing of pre-miRNAs by DICER1. Able to mediate methylation of pre-miR-145, as well as other pre-miRNAs. There is some controversy about the methylation of pre-miR-145, since the dimethylation first described as the specific enzymatic activity cannot be reproduced by a more recent work which observes a monomehtylation of pre-miR-145 but two orders weaker than the methylation of cytosolic histidyl tRNA.[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
