Biological function summary
The PCMT1 enzyme plays a significant role in cellular repair mechanisms by rejuvenating proteins that have been altered due to spontaneous deamidation or isomerization. This process is critical for preserving the longevity of proteins and preventing cellular aging and dysfunction. PCMT1 does not generally form part of a complex but works by interacting directly with protein substrates that contain abnormal isoaspartyl residues. It functions independently in its activity and this specificity highlights its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
PCMT1 is an integral component of protein repair pathways specifically the pathways that manage protein maintenance and degradation. These pathways help prevent the accumulation of dysfunctional proteins thereby preserving cell function and survival. PCMT1 activity relates closely to proteins such as CHIP and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway elements which also manage protein quality control within the cell. Together these proteins ensure accurate protein folding and turnover.

General info
Function
Initiates the repair of damaged proteins by catalyzing methyl esterification of L-isoaspartyl and D-aspartyl residues produced by spontaneous isomerization and racemization of L-aspartyl and L-asparaginyl residues in aging peptides and proteins (PubMed : 3167043, PubMed : 6469980). Acts on EIF4EBP2, microtubule-associated protein 2, calreticulin, clathrin light chains a and b, Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1, phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1, stathmin, beta-synuclein and alpha-synuclein (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. L-isoaspartyl/D-aspartyl protein methyltransferase family.
