N-myristoyltransferase 2 or NMT2 is an enzyme that catalyzes N-terminal myristoylation. It transfers myristic acid a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid to the N-terminal glycine residue of substrate proteins. This modification influences the protein's function stability and subcellular localization. NMT2 has a structure with an approximate mass of 53 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues including the liver and the brain contributing to diverse biological processes.
Biological function summary
NMT2 participates in the post-translational modification of proteins which impacts cellular signaling and protein-protein interactions. It exists within a myristoylation enzyme complex working alongside its isoform NMT1 which complements its activity. NMT2 influences pathways involving protein trafficking and cell growth playing a role in membrane localization and signal transduction of several key proteins.
Pathways
NMT2 actively engages in the Wnt signaling and protein kinase C (PKC) pathways. These pathways contribute to regulating cell fate decisions and cellular responses to extracellular signals. NMT2 shares pathway interaction with proteins like beta-catenin in the Wnt pathway and is linked with PKC isoforms within the PKC pathway. This involvement affects cytoskeleton organization cellular proliferation and apoptosis.
Scientists have observed that alterations in NMT2 activity associate with various diseases including cancer and neurological disorders. In cancer abnormal NMT2 expression impacts cancer cell survival and metastasis. In neurological disorders changes in myristoylation affect synaptic function and neuronal signaling. NMT2 interacts with proteins like beta-catenin in cancer progression and synaptophysin in neurological conditions. These connections highlight NMT2 as a potential therapeutic target for drug development.
