A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.97

Accepted Name
Glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase.
Alternative Name(s)
Peptide N-myristoyltransferase.
Peptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase.
Reaction catalysed
Tetradecanoyl-CoA + an N-terminal-glycyl-[protein] <=> CoA + an N-terminal-N-tetradecanoylglycyl-[protein]
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of myristic acid from myristoyl-CoA to the amino group of the N-terminal glycine residue in a variety of eukaryotic proteins.
  • It uses an ordered Bi Bi reaction in which myristoyl-CoA binds to the enzyme prior to the binding of the peptide substrate, and CoA release precedes the release of the myristoylated peptide.
  • The enzyme from yeast is profoundly affected by amino acids further from the N-terminus, and is particularly stimulated by a serine residue at position 5.
