FunctionNMT1_HUMAN Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular and viral proteins. Publication Abstract from PubMedAn organism's entire protein modification repertoire has yet to be comprehensively mapped. N-myristoylation (MYR) is a crucial eukaryotic N-terminal protein modification. Here we mapped complete Homo sapiens and Arabidopsis thaliana myristoylomes. The crystal structures of human modifier NMT1 complexed with reactive and nonreactive target-mimicking peptide ligands revealed unexpected binding clefts and a modifier recognition pattern. This information allowed integrated mapping of myristoylomes using peptide macroarrays, dedicated prediction algorithms, and in vivo mass spectrometry. Global MYR profiling at the genomic scale identified over a thousand novel, heterogeneous targets in both organisms. Surprisingly, MYR involved a non-negligible set of overlapping targets with N-acetylation, and the sequence signature marks for a third proximal acylation-S-palmitoylation-were genomically imprinted, allowing recognition of sequences exhibiting both acylations. Together, the data extend the N-end rule concept for Gly-starting proteins to subcellular compartmentalization and reveal the main neighbors influencing protein modification profiles and consequent cell fate. Structural and genomic decoding of human and plant myristoylomes reveals a definitive recognition pattern.,Castrec B, Dian C, Ciccone S, Ebert CL, Bienvenut WV, Le Caer JP, Steyaert JM, Giglione C, Meinnel T Nat Chem Biol. 2018 Jun 11. pii: 10.1038/s41589-018-0077-5. doi:, 10.1038/s41589-018-0077-5.
