Chemoproteomic Study Uncovers HemK2/KMT9 As a New Target for NTMT1 Bisubstrate Inhibitors

Understanding the selectivity of methyltransferase inhibitors is important to dissecting the functions of each methyltransferase target. From this perspective, we report a chemoproteomic study to profile the selectivity of a potent protein N-terminal methyltransferase 1 (NTMT1) bisubstrate inhibitor NAH-C3-GPKK (Ki, app = 7 ± 1 nM) in endogenous proteomes. First, we describe the rational design, synthesis, and biochemical characterization of a new chemical probe 6, a biotinylated analogue of NAH-C3-GPKK. Next, we systematically analyze protein networks that may selectively interact with the biotinylated probe 6 in concert with the competitor NAH-C3-GPKK. Besides NTMT1, the designated NTMT1 bisubstrate inhibitor NAH-C3-GPKK was found to also potently inhibit a methyltransferase complex HemK2-Trm112 (also known as KMT9-Trm112), highlighting the importance of systematic selectivity profiling. Furthermore, this is the first potent inhibitor for HemK2/KMT9 reported until now. Thus, our studies lay the foundation for future efforts to develop selective inhibitors for either methyltransferase.
