NMT
MyristoylCoA:Protein N-Myristoyltransferase
Supplementary material to
N-terminal N-Myristoylation of Proteins:

II. Prediction of Substrate Proteins from Amino Acid Sequence

   

For our sequence search for NMT homologues the NMT1 of Arabidopsis thaliana was chosen as primary query sequence since it is evolutionary in the middle of the two big outlying clusters (fungi, mammals) according to our previous analysis.

The following search results are accessible via HTML-pages:

PSI-BLAST (nr) 50 hits (related taxonomy report)

TBLASTN (nr) 70 hits (related taxonomy report)

TBLASTN (est) 525 hits (related taxonomy report)

TBLASTN (gss) 39 hits (related taxonomy report)

TBLASTN (htgs) 35 hits (related taxonomy report)

We provide the alignment of the NMTs in NR database (including 2 potential NMT homologues from entomopoxviri) and further below a complete alignment (including ESTs) of sequences homologous to experimentally characterized NMTs from 64 different organisms. 

Alignment of the 21 NMT homologues in nr-database plus the two viral sequences:

 

Alignment of sequences from 64 organisms (including putative NMTs from ESTs):

 

 

Alignments were generated with ClustalX (Thompson et al. 1997; Matrix: Gonnet, Gap open penalty: 10, Gap extension penalty: 0.2).
