2′-O-methyltransferase (MTase) is an enzyme that transfers a methyl group to the 2′ hydroxyl of the first and second ribose groups in mRNA. Viruses that acquire this enzyme can produce cap-1 and cap-2 on their transcripts and thereby evade restriction by IFIT1.
La 2′-O-metiltransferasa (MTase) es una enzima que transfiere un grupo metilo a los grupos hidroxilo 2′ del primer y segundo ribosa en el ARNm. Los virus que adquieren esta enzima pueden producir cap-1 y cap-2 en sus transcritos y así evadir la restricción por IFIT1.
