The SpoU-TrmD (SPOUT) methyltransferase superfamily was designated when structural similarity was identified between the transfer RNA–modifying enzymes TrmH (SpoU) and TrmD. SPOUT methyltransferases are found in all domains of life and predominantly modify transfer RNA or ribosomal RNA substrates, though one instance of an enzyme with a protein substrate has been reported. Modifications placed by SPOUT methyltransferases play diverse roles in regulating cellular processes such as ensuring translational fidelity, altering RNA stability, and conferring bacterial resistance to antibiotics. This large collection of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferases is defined by a unique α/β fold with a deep trefoil knot in their catalytic (SPOUT) domain. Herein, we describe current knowledge of SPOUT enzyme structure, domain architecture, and key elements of catalytic function, including S-adenosyl-L-methionine co-substrate binding, beginning with a new sequence alignment that divides the SPOUT methyltransferase superfamily into four major clades. Finally, a major focus of this review will be on our growing understanding of how these diverse enzymes accomplish the molecular feat of specific substrate recognition and modification, as highlighted by recent advances in our knowledge of protein–RNA complex structures and the discovery of the dependence of one SPOUT methyltransferase on metal ion binding for catalysis. Considering the broad biological roles of RNA modifications, developing a deeper understanding of the process of substrate recognition by the SPOUT enzymes will be critical for defining many facets of fundamental RNA biology with implications for human disease.
