The structure of NTMT1 in complex with compound DC100-1
Structural highlights
FunctionNTM1A_HUMAN Distributive alpha-N-methyltransferase that methylates the N-terminus of target proteins containing the N-terminal motif [Ala/Pro/Ser]-Pro-Lys when the initiator Met is cleaved. Specifically catalyzes mono-, di- or tri-methylation of exposed alpha-amino group of Ala or Ser residue in the [Ala/Ser]-Pro-Lys motif and mono- or di-methylation of Pro in the Pro-Pro-Lys motif. Some of the substrates may be primed by METTL11B-mediated monomethylation. Responsible for the N-terminal methylation of KLHL31, MYL2, MYL3, RB1, RCC1, RPL23A and SET. Required during mitosis for normal bipolar spindle formation and chromosome segregation via its action on RCC1.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedProtein N-terminal methyltransferase 1 (NTMT1) plays an important role in regulating mitosis and DNA repair. Here, we describe the discovery of a potent NTMT1 bisubstrate inhibitor 4 (IC50 = 35 +/- 2 nM) that exhibits greater than 100-fold selectivity against a panel of methyltransferases. We also report the first crystal structure of NTMT1 in complex with an inhibitor, which revealed that 4 occupies substrate and cofactor binding sites of NTMT1.
