Structural highlights
Function[A5K1A2_PLAVS] Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular proteins (By similarity).[RuleBase:RU000586] Publication Abstract from PubMedN-Myristoyltransferase (NMT) is a prospective drug target against parasitic protozoa. Herein we report the successful discovery of a series of Plasmodium vivax NMT inhibitors by high-throughput screening. A high-resolution crystal structure of the hit compound in complex with NMT was obtained, allowing understanding of its novel binding mode. A set of analogues was designed and tested to define the chemical groups relevant for activity and selectivity.
