IPR025800

Description

IPR025800 is a Calmodulin-lysine N-methyltransferase.

<p>Members of this family are calmodulin-lysine N-methyltransferase ([ec:2.1.1.60]) that catalyse the trimethylation of 'Lys-116' in calmodulin [[cite:PUB00058099]]. The enzyme is cytosolic and is found at high levels in tissues with high levels of calmodulin [[cite:PUB00058100]].</p> <p>Methyltransferases (EC [ec:2.1.1.-]) constitute an important class of enzymes present in every life form. They transfer a methyl group most frequently from S-adenosyl L-methionine (SAM or AdoMet) to a nucleophilic acceptor such as oxygen leading to S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) and a methylated molecule [[cite:PUB00057957], [cite:PUB00057958], [cite:PUB00054125]]. All these enzymes have in common a conserved region of about 130 amino acid residues that allow them to bind SAM [[cite:PUB00006319]]. The substrates that are methylated by these enzymes cover virtually every kind of biomolecules ranging from small molecules, to lipids, proteins and nucleic acids [[cite:PUB00057957], [cite:PUB00057958], [cite:PUB00006319]]. Methyltransferase are therefore involved in many essential cellular processes including biosynthesis, signal transduction, protein repair, chromatin regulation and gene silencing [[cite:PUB00057957], [cite:PUB00057958], [cite:PUB00054125]]. More than 230 families of methyltransferases have been described so far, of which more than 220 use SAM as the methyl donor.</p>
