EC 2.1.1.299

Accepted name: protein N-terminal monomethyltransferase

Reaction: 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]

Other name(s): NRMT2 (gene name); METTL11B (gene name); N-terminal monomethylase

Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:N-terminal-(A,P,S)PK-[protein] monomethyltransferase

Comments: 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, protein N-terminal methyltransferase, the protein only adds one methyl group to the N-terminal.
