Supplementary information

The protein PNMT also known as Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase functions as an enzyme responsible for the methylation of norepinephrine to synthesize epinephrine. It belongs to the methyltransferase family and weighs approximately 30 kDa. PNMT is highly expressed in the adrenal medulla particularly in chromaffin cells but also found in smaller amounts in some parts of the brain such as the medulla oblongata and retina. This distribution supports its role in catecholamine biosynthesis and regulation.
Biological function summary

The conversion of norepinephrine to epinephrine increases the functionality of PNMT in stress response mechanisms. PNMT plays an important role in the synthesis of catecholamines which are essential for modulating the fight-or-flight response. It does not form part of a larger protein complex but interacts with substrates and cofactors directly to catalyze its reactions. PNMT's activity is carefully regulated by factors including substrate availability and enzyme expression levels in tissues where it operates.

Pathways

Norepinephrine to epinephrine synthesis conducted by PNMT marks the final step in the catecholamine biosynthetic pathway. This pathway is critical in managing cardiovascular and metabolic functions. The protein connects extensively with enzymes such as tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine β-hydroxylase within this pathway which are involved in prior steps of catecholamine synthesis. PNMT's activity and regulation are therefore essential for maintaining homeostasis in stress and energy metabolism.

PNMT connects directly to conditions like hypertension and certain phaeochromocytomas which arise from catecholamine excess or imbalance. Elevated levels of PNMT can be found in tumors linked to the adrenal medulla affecting the production of epinephrine. PNMT's interaction with enzymes like dopamine β-hydroxylase is relevant in understanding these disorders since imbalances in enzyme activity can lead to disrupted catecholamine synthesis contributing to disease pathogenesis.

Target data

Catalyzes the transmethylation of nonepinephrine (noradrenaline) to form epinephrine (adrenaline), using S-adenosyl-L-methionine as the methyl donor (PubMed : 20496117). Other substrates include phenylethanolamine and octopamine (PubMed : 16277617, PubMed : 16363801, PubMed : 8812853). Also methylates normetanephrine (By similarity).
