Superfamily Vaccinia Virus protein VP39
Functional Family N-terminal Xaa-Pro-Lys N-methyltransferase 1

Enzyme Information

2.1.1.299
Protein N-terminal monomethyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q5VVY1
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + N-terminal-(A,P,S)PK-[protein] = S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine + N-terminal-N-methyl-N-(A,P,S)PK-[protein].
-!- 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. -!- In contrast to EC 2.1.1.244, the protein only adds one methyl group to the N-terminal.
