peptidyl-lysine monomethylation
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The methylation of peptidyl-lysine to form peptidyl-N6-methyl-L-lysine. [RESID:AA0076]
Peptidyl-lysine monomethylation is a post-translational modification (PTM) where a single methyl group (CH3) is added to the ε-amino group of a lysine residue within a protein. This process is catalyzed by specific enzymes called lysine methyltransferases (KMTs).
**Biological Process:**
1. **Substrate Recognition:** KMTs recognize specific sequence motifs and structural features within their target proteins, allowing them to selectively target particular lysine residues.
2. **Methyl Group Transfer:** The KMT enzyme utilizes a cofactor, typically S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), as the methyl group donor. SAM binds to the KMT active site, and the enzyme transfers the methyl group to the ε-amino group of the lysine residue in the target protein.
3. **Product Formation:** The methylation reaction results in the formation of monomethylated lysine (me1Lys) within the protein. The KMT enzyme then releases the product, typically a demethylated SAM molecule (S-adenosyl homocysteine or SAH).
**Biological Significance:**
Peptidyl-lysine monomethylation plays a crucial role in regulating a wide range of cellular processes, including:
* **Transcriptional Regulation:** Methylation of histone proteins, which package DNA, can alter chromatin structure and influence gene expression.
* **Signal Transduction:** Methylation of signaling proteins can modulate their activity and influence downstream signaling pathways.
* **Protein-Protein Interactions:** Methylation can alter the binding affinity of proteins to other molecules, affecting protein interactions and cellular functions.
* **Cellular Differentiation and Development:** Methylation patterns can influence cell fate decisions and development.
**Regulation:**
The activity of KMTs is tightly regulated by various mechanisms, including:
* **Transcriptional Control:** The expression levels of KMTs can be regulated by specific transcription factors.
* **Post-Translational Modifications:** KMTs themselves can be modified by phosphorylation, acetylation, or ubiquitination, influencing their activity.
* **Subcellular Localization:** The localization of KMTs to specific cellular compartments can regulate their access to target proteins.
**Dysregulation and Disease:**
Dysregulation of peptidyl-lysine monomethylation has been implicated in various diseases, including:
* **Cancer:** Aberrant methylation patterns are often observed in cancer cells, contributing to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor progression.
* **Neurological Disorders:** Dysregulation of methylation in the nervous system can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
* **Immune Disorders:** Methylation plays a crucial role in immune cell function and development, and dysregulation can contribute to autoimmune diseases.
**Conclusion:**
Peptidyl-lysine monomethylation is a fundamental biological process that plays a diverse role in regulating various cellular functions. Its importance in health and disease makes it a vital target for future research and drug development.'
