== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/NTM1A_HUMAN NTM1A_HUMAN] Distributive alpha-N-methyltransferase that methylates the N-terminus of target proteins containing the N-terminal motif [Ala/Pro/Ser]-Pro-Lys when the initiator Met is cleaved. Specifically catalyzes mono-, di- or tri-methylation of exposed alpha-amino group of Ala or Ser residue in the [Ala/Ser]-Pro-Lys motif and mono- or di-methylation of Pro in the Pro-Pro-Lys motif. Some of the substrates may be primed by METTL11B-mediated monomethylation. Responsible for the N-terminal methylation of KLHL31, MYL2, MYL3, RB1, RCC1, RPL23A and SET. Required during mitosis for normal bipolar spindle formation and chromosome segregation via its action on RCC1.<ref>PMID:20481588</ref> <ref>PMID:20668449</ref> <ref>PMID:24090352</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Protein N-terminal methyltransferases (NTMTs) methylate the alpha-N-terminal amines of proteins starting with the canonical X-P-K/R motif. Genetic studies imply that NTMT1 regulates cell mitosis and DNA damage repair. Herein, we report the rational design and development of the first potent peptidomimetic inhibitor for NTMT1/2. Biochemical and cocrystallization studies manifest that BM30 (with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 0.89 +/- 0.10 muM) is a competitive inhibitor to the peptide substrate and noncompetitive to the cofactor S-adenosylmethionine. BM30 exhibits over 100-fold selectivity to NTMT1/2 among a panel of 41 MTs, indicating its potential to achieve high selectivity when targeting the peptide substrate binding site of NTMT1/2. Its cell-permeable analogue DC432 (IC(50) of 54 +/- 4 nM) decreases the N-terminal methylation level of the regulator of chromosome condensation 1 and SET proteins in HCT116 cells. This proof-of principle study provides valuable probes for NTMT1/2 and highlights the opportunity to develop more cell-potent inhibitors to elucidate the function of NTMTs in the future.
