2.1.1.297

Accepted name:

peptide chain release factor N⁵-glutamine methyltransferase

Reaction:

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + [peptide chain release factor 1 or 2]-L-glutamine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + [peptide chain release factor 1 or 2]-N⁵-methyl-L-glutamine

Other name(s):

N⁵-glutamine S-adenosyl-L-methionine dependent methyltransferase; N⁵-glutamine MTase; HemK; PrmC

Systematic name:

S-adenosyl-L-methionine:[peptide chain release factor 1 or 2]-L-glutamine (N⁵-glutamine)-methyltransferase

Comments:

Modifies the glutamine residue in the universally conserved glycylglycylglutamine (GGQ) motif of peptide chain release factor, resulting in almost complete loss of release activity.
