title: New light on methylthiolation reactions.
abstract: A novel enzyme, named RimO for ribosomal modification (Anton et al., 2008) catalyzes the methylthiolation of aspartate 88 of the S12 ribosomal protein in Escherichia coli and shows a strong similarity with the iron-sulfur enzyme MiaB involved in the methylthiolation of tRNAs.
