Mammalian HEMK1 Methylates Glutamine Residue of the GGQ Motif of Mitochondrial Release Factors
2021-11-17
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Despite limited reports on glutamine methylation, methylated glutamine is found to be highly conserved in a "GGQ" motif in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In bacteria, glutamine methylation of peptide chain release factors 1/2 (RF1/2) by the enzyme PrmC is essential for translational termination and transcript recycling. Two PrmC homologs, HEMK1 and HEMK2, are found in mammals. In cont...
