Methyltransferase for rRNA; methylates pseudouridine 18S rRNA residue 1191; member of the SPOUT methyltransferase family; required for maturation of 18S rRNA and for 40S ribosomal subunit production independent of methyltransferase activity; forms homodimers; human ortholog is mutated in Bowen-Conradi syndrome, and equivalent yeast mutation affects Emg1p dimerization and localization but not methyltransferase activity; human EMG1 complements lethality of null and ts mutant [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004176]
