Structural Integrity of Histone H2B in Vivo Requires the Activity of Protein l-IsoaspartateO-Methyltransferase, a Putative Protein Repair Enzyme
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Protein L-isoaspartate O-methyltransferase (PIMT) is postulated to repair beta-aspartyl linkages (isoaspartyl (isoAsp)) that accumulate at certain Asp-Xaa and Asn-Xaa sites in association with protein aging and deamidation. To identify major targets of PIMT action we cultured rat PC12 cells with adenosine dialdehyde (AdOx), a methyltransferase inhibitor that promotes accumulation of isoAsp in vivo. Subcellular...
