Background: alpha-N-terminal Methyltransferase 1A/METTL11A

METTL11A, also named N‑terminal RCC1 methyltransferase (NRMT), is an alpha‑N‑methyltransferase that methylates the N‑terminal amino group of target proteins containing the N‑terminal motif [Ala/Pro/Ser]-Pro-Lys when the initiator Met is cleaved (1). It is responsible for N‑terminal methylation of RCC1, KLHL31, MYL2, MYL3, RB1, RPL23A and SET. NRMT lacks a SET domain but possesses a Rossman‑like a/b fold. The residues Asn169, Asp178, Asp181, and Ser183 of NRMT are important for substrate binding (2). RCC1 (Ran guanine nucleotide‑exchange factor) is the first protein for which any biological function of alpha‑N‑methylation by NRMT has been identified (3, 4). The multi‑spindle phenotype associated with either NRMT knockdown or methylation‑defective RCC1 mutants demonstrated the importance of alpha‑N‑methylation of RCC1 for normal bipolar spindle formation and chromosome aggregation (2). NRMT is robustly overexpressed in gastrointestinal cancers.

  1. Prepare a 10 mM stock of reduced glutathione in deionized water.
  2. Prepare the standard curve by diluting the 10 mM reduced glutathione (10,000 pmol/µL) to 20 pmol/µL in Assay Buffer and performing six additional ½ serial dilutions.
  3. Dilute rhMETTL11A to 66.67 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  4. Dilute Substrate and S-Adenosylmethionine in Assay Buffer to 133.34 μM and 666.67 uM respectively.
  5. Combine equal volumes of dilute Substrate and S-Adensoylmethionine for the substrate mixture. Further dilute an appropriate amount of 133.34 μM Substrate to 66.67 μM in Assay Buffer for controls.
  6. Dilute rhAHCY and rhADA in Assay Buffer to 50 ug/mL and 88.9 μg/mL respectively.
  7. Combine equal volumes of dilute rhAHCY and rhADA for the rhAHCY/rhADA mixture.
  8. Load the microplate as follows:
    1. Reactions: 15 µL of 66.67 ng/µL rhMETTL11A, 15 µL of substrate mixture, and 20 µL of rhAHCY/rhADA mixture.
    2. Controls: 15 µL of 66.67 ng/µL rhMETTL11A, 15 µL of 66.67 uM Substrate, and 20 µL of rhAHCY/rhADA mixture
    3. Standard Curve: 50 µL per well
  9. Seal microplate and incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  10. Dilute ThioGlo® to 100 µM in DMSO.
  11. After incubation, add 50 µL of 100 µM ThioGlo® to all wells used.
  12. Incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes in the dark.
  13. Read the plate in endpoint mode at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 445 nm, respectively.
  14. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

Adjusted thiol produced* (pmol)
Incubation time (min) x amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Derived from the reduced glutathione standard curve using linear fitting and adjusted for Substrate Blank.
