ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.244

Accepted Name
Protein N-terminal methyltransferase.
Reaction catalysed
  • 3 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + N-terminal-(A,S)PK-[protein] <=> 3 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N-terminal-N,N,N-trimethyl-N-(A,S)PK-[protein]
  • 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + N-terminal-PPK-[protein] <=> 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N-terminal-N,N-dimethyl-N-PPK-[protein]
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme methylates the N-terminus of target proteins containing the N-terminal motif (Ala/Pro/Ser)-Pro-Lys after the initiator L-methionine is cleaved.
  • When the terminal amino acid is L-proline, the enzyme catalyzes two successive methylations of its alpha-amino group.
  • When the first amino acid is either L-alanine or L-serine, the enzyme catalyzes three successive methylations.
  • The Pro-Lys in positions 2-3 cannot be exchanged for other amino acids.
  • Formerly EC 2.1.1.n5.
