| Abstract | Histone lysine methylation is associated with essential biological functions like transcription activation or repression, depending on the position and the degree of methylation. This post-translational modification is introduced by protein lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) which catalyze the transfer of one to three methyl groups from the methyl donor S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet) to the amino group on the side chain of lysines. The regulation of protein lysine methylation plays a primary role not only in the basic functioning of normal cells but also in various pathologies and KMT deregulation is associated with diseases including cancer. These enzymes are therefore attractive targets for the development of new antitumor agents, and there is still a need for direct methodology to screen, identify, and characterize KMT inhibitors. We report here a simple and robust in vitro assay to quantify the enzymatic methylation of KMT by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Following this protocol, we can monitor the methylation events over time on a peptide substrate. We detect in the same spectrum the modified and unmodified substrates, and the ratios of both signals are used to quantify the amount of methylated substrate. We first demonstrated the validity of the assay by determining inhibition parameters of two known inhibitors of the KMT SET7/9 ((R)-PFI-2 and sinefungin). Next, based on structural comparison with these inhibitors, we selected 42 compounds from a chemical library. We applied the MALDI-TOF assay to screen their activity as inhibitors of the KMT SET7/9. This study allowed us to determine inhibition constants as well as kinetic parameters of a series of SET7/9 inhibitors and to initiate a structure activity discussion with this family of compounds. This assay is versatile and can be easily adapted to other KMT substrates and enzymes as well as automatized. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
