Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanine527 in 16S rRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N7-methylguanine527 in 16S rRNA
Other name(s): ribosomal RNA small subunit methyltransferase G; 16S rRNA methyltransferase RsmG; GidB; rsmG (gene name)
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:16S rRNA (guanine527-N7)-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme specifically methylates guanine527 at N7 in 16S rRNA.
