General annotation (Comments)

Function

Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular proteins. Substrate specificity requires an N-terminal glycine in the nascent polypeptide substrates. Uncharged amino acids are preferred at position 2 while neutral residues are favored at positions 3 and 4. Ser is present at position 5 in almost all known N-myristoyl proteins and Lys is commonly encountered at postion 6.

Catalytic activity

Tetradecanoyl-CoA + glycylpeptide = CoA + N-tetradecanoylglycylpeptide.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by diethylpyrocarbonate. Competitively inhibited by S-(2-oxo)pentadecyl-CoA, a non hydrolysable myristoyl-CoA analog, and by SC-58272, a peptidomimetic derived from the N-terminal sequence of a natural substrate.

Subunit structure

Monomer.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm Ref.11.

Post-translational modification

The N-terminus is blocked.

Miscellaneous

Has an ordered Bi-Bi kinetic mechanism, with myristoyl-CoA binding taking place prior to peptide binding and CoA release occurring before acylated peptide release. Cooperative interactions between the acyl-CoA and peptide binding sites of NMT contribute to its extraordinary chain-length specificity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the NMT family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=1.4 µM for myristoyl-CoA Ref.4 Ref.10

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 7.5-8.0.
