2.1.1.233 |
| Accepted name: |
[phosphatase 2A protein]-leucine-carboxy methyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + [phosphatase 2A protein]-leucine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + [phosphatase 2A protein]-leucine methyl ester |
| Other name(s): |
leucine carboxy methyltransferase-1; LCMT1 |
| Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:[phosphatase 2A protein]-leucine O-methyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Methylates the C-terminal leucine of phosphatase 2A. A key regulator of protein phosphatase 2A. The methyl ester is hydrolysed by EC 3.1.1.89 (protein phosphatase methylesterase-1). Occurs mainly in the cytoplasm, Golgi region and late endosomes. |
