Chemical inhibitors of base methyltransferase of 25S rRNA 2 operate by various mechanisms to impede the enzyme's methylation activity. S-Adenosylmethionine, the natural methyl donor for this enzyme, can be competitively inhibited by sinefungin, which shares structural similarity with S-Adenosylmethionine and occupies the SAM-binding site. This prevents the transfer of a methyl group to the rRNA. Similarly, periodate-oxidized adenosine can interfere with the active site of the enzyme, disrupting the proper binding of S-Adenosylmethionine. Adenosine dialdehyde and 3-deazaadenosine inhibit the enzyme by a different route; they inhibit S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase, leading to the accumulation of S-adenosylhomocysteine, which competes with S-Adenosylmethionine for the enzyme's active site, reducing methyltransferase activity.
Additionally, methylthioadenosine can indirectly inhibit base methyltransferase of 25S rRNA 2 by interfering with the regeneration of S-Adenosylmethionine, as it competes with S-adenosylhomocysteine for breakdown. This competition is crucial for the synthesis of S-Adenosylmethionine, which is necessary for rRNA methylation. Homocysteine also contributes to the inhibition by leading to the accumulation of S-adenosylhomocysteine, which inhibits the enzyme by competitive inhibition. BIX-01294, though initially characterized for its inhibitory action on G9a and GLP methyltransferases, can also occupy the active sites of a broader range of enzymes, including base methyltransferase of 25S rRNA 2, preventing the methylation process. Similarly, chaetocin, a known inhibitor of SUV39H1 histone methyltransferase, may interact with the active site of base methyltransferase of 25S rRNA 2, impeding its ability to methylate the rRNA. Flavonoids like quercetin and catechins such as epigallocatechin gallate are known to bind to various enzyme active sites and can inhibit base methyltransferase of 25S rRNA 2 by blocking access to the necessary components for methylation activity.
