Catalysis of the reaction: N6-tetradecanoyl-L-lysyl-[protein] + NAD+ + H2O = tetradecanoyl-ADP-D-ribose + L-lysyl-[protein] + nicotinamide. [PMID:23552949, RHEA:70567]
NAD-dependent protein demyristoylase activity is a critical enzymatic process that removes the myristoyl group, a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid, from the N-terminal glycine residue of target proteins. This process, known as demyristoylation, is essential for regulating various cellular functions, including protein trafficking, signal transduction, and membrane association.
Myristoylation, the attachment of myristate to a protein, is a common post-translational modification that often targets proteins destined for the plasma membrane or other cellular compartments. This modification can enhance protein stability, promote membrane association, and facilitate interactions with other proteins.
NAD-dependent protein demyristoylases, also known as N-myristoyltransferases (NMTs), are a family of enzymes that specifically recognize and remove myristate from myristoylated proteins. These enzymes utilize NAD+ as a cofactor and employ a complex mechanism involving nucleophilic attack and hydride transfer to cleave the myristoyl-glycine bond.
The removal of myristate by demyristoylases can have profound effects on protein function. For example, demyristoylation can trigger the dissociation of proteins from membranes, alter their interactions with other proteins, or expose specific domains for subsequent modification.
Demyristoylation plays a crucial role in regulating a wide range of cellular processes, including:
- **Protein trafficking:** Demyristoylation can trigger the release of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or Golgi apparatus, directing them to their final destination.
- **Signal transduction:** Demyristoylation can modulate the activity of signaling proteins, altering their ability to bind to and activate downstream targets.
- **Membrane association:** Demyristoylation can influence the localization and stability of proteins at cellular membranes.
- **Viral replication:** Demyristoylation is essential for the replication of some viruses, including HIV-1.
In summary, NAD-dependent protein demyristoylase activity is a vital enzymatic process that regulates the removal of myristate from proteins. This activity plays a critical role in numerous cellular processes, including protein trafficking, signal transduction, membrane association, and viral replication. Understanding the mechanisms and functions of demyristoylation is crucial for unraveling the complexity of cellular signaling pathways and for developing new therapeutic strategies.'
