| Systematic name | YLR186W |
| Gene name | EMG1 |
| Aliases | NEP1 |
| Feature type | ORF, Verified |
| Coordinates | Chr XII:523632..524390 |
| Primary SGDID | S000004176 |
Description of YLR186W: Methyltransferase for rRNA; catalyzes methylation of the pseudouridine residue 1191 of 18S rRNA; member of the SPOUT methyltransferase family; required for maturation of 18S rRNA and for 40S ribosomal subunit production independently of methyltransferase activity; forms homodimers; human ortholog is mutated in Bowen-Conradi syndrome, and the equivalent mutation in yeast affects Emg1p dimerization and localization but not its methyltransferase activity[1][2][3][4][5][6]
