Abstract excerpt
Protein methyltransferases (PMTs) utilize S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as a cofactor and transfer its sulfonium methyl moiety to diverse substrates. These methylation events can lead to meaningful biological outcomes, from transcriptional activation/silencing to cell cycle regulation. This article describes recently developed technology based on protein engineering in tandem with SAM analog cofactors and...
