FBLL1

protein-coding

fibrillarin like 1, the group of 7BS 2'O-ribose DNA/RNA methyltransferases

Gene summary

Enables RNA 2'-O-methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in box C/D sno(s)RNA 3'-end processing; mRNA stabilization; and rRNA methylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within blastocyst hatching. Located in fibrillar center. Part of box C/D methylation guide snoRNP complex. Is active in nucleolus.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_001355274.2. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase that has the ability to methylate both RNAs and proteins. Involved in pre-rRNA processing by catalyzing the site-specific 2'-hydroxyl methylation of ribose moieties in pre-ribosomal RNA. Also acts as a protein methyltransferase by mediating methylation of glutamine residues (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.;
