Disease relevance of NMT1

 

Psychiatry related information on NMT1

  • A rodent model of diencephalic amnesia, pyrithiamine-induced thiamine deficiency (PTD), was used to investigate the dynamic role of hippocampal and striatal acetylcholine (ACh) efflux across acquisition of a nonmatching-to-position (NMTP) T-maze task [5].
 

High impact information on NMT1

 

Chemical compound and disease context of NMT1

 

Biological context of NMT1

  • Overall, the data indicate that NMT1 and NMT2 have only partially overlapping functions and that NMT1 is critical for tumor cell proliferation [13].
  • The mouse and human versions of each NMT are highly homologous, displaying greater than 95% amino acid sequence identity [14].
  • Two N-myristoyltransferase isozymes play unique roles in protein myristoylation, proliferation, and apoptosis [13].
  • Using RNA interference, this study functionally characterizes the two NMT isozymes in human cells [13].
  • In contrast, immunoblotting of cells transfected with a plasmid containing the smaller insert identified a approximately 50-kDa FLAG-NMT predominantly in the cytosolic fraction [3].
 

Anatomical context of NMT1

  • Western analysis revealed that while hNMT-2 appeared as a single 65-kDa protein in transfected COS-7 cells, hNMT-1 was processed to provide four distinct protein isoforms ranging from 49 to 68 kDa in size [14].
  • Human N-myristoyltransferase amino-terminal domain involved in targeting the enzyme to the ribosomal subcellular fraction [3].
  • An analysis of mixtures of CEM ribosomes and serial dilutions of purified recombinant FLAG-NMTs demonstrated that the approximately 60-kDa FLAG-NMT binds ribosomes with higher affinity than the approximately 50-kDa FLAG-NMT [3].
  • Immunoprecipitation of NMT from human cell lines and immunoblotting of a range of rat tissues has identified proteins with molecular masses corresponding to those derived from these cDNAs, and provided evidence that their relative abundance differs among tissues [15].
  • In this review article, I summarize that NMT may have a potential role in cardiac muscle in the experimentally induced ischemia-reperfusion rat model and also in the streptozotoein-induced diabetic rat [9].
 

Associations of NMT1 with chemical compounds

  • N-myristoyltransferases (NMT) add myristate to the NH(2) termini of certain proteins, thereby regulating their localization and/or biological function [13].
  • The AtNMT was similar to the mammalian NMTs with respect to a relative specificity for myristoyl CoA among the acyl CoA donors and also inhibition by the bovine brain NMT inhibitor NIP(71) [16].
  • The data also indicate that although the unique NH2-terminal residues encoded by this larger open reading frame are not required for in vitro catalytic activity, they do provide signal(s) involved in targeting hNMT to the ribosomal subcellular fraction where cotranslational N-myristoylation occurs [3].
  • Sucrose density gradient centrifugation of the ribosomal fraction resulted in the hNMT activity sedimenting exactly coincident with the 260 nm absorption profile and exhibiting A260/A280 absorption ratios >1.8, indicating an association of NMT with putative ribosomal particle(s)/subunit(s) [3].
  • Such interactions appear to enhance the activity of hNMT towards its serine-containing substrates [17].
 

Physical interactions of NMT1

  • Furthermore, protein-protein interaction of NMTs revealed that m-calpain interacts with NMT1 while caspase-3 interacts with NMT2 [1].
 

Other interactions of NMT1
