2.1.1.244 D168X site-directed mutagenesis, the mutation has no effect on methylation 718160 2.1.1.244 D178A/D181A site-directed mutagenesis, mutating the residues Asp178 and Asp181 at the lip of the active site to Ala decreases enzyme activity, which is further decreased by reverse-charge mutagenesis to Lys 718160 2.1.1.244 D180K site-directed mutagenesis, inactive mutant 736186 2.1.1.244 D180N site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows highly reduced activity compared to wild-type 756877 2.1.1.244 D180Y site-directed mutagenesis, inactive mutant 736186 2.1.1.244 D212N site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows reduced activity compared to wild-type 756877 2.1.1.244 E213A site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows 15% reduced activity compared to wild-type 756877 2.1.1.244 H140A the mutant loses the catalytic activity, but retains binding affinity to the peptide substrate 756463 2.1.1.244 H140K site-directed mutagenesis, inactive mutant 736186 2.1.1.244 additional information depleting NRMT in 293LT cells, using lentivirus, significantly decreases methylation of endogenous RCC1, while not affecting overall RCC1 level, depleting NRMT in HeLa cells using short interfering RNAs causing the same effects, RCC1 methylation is rescued by expression of murine NRMT-FLAG, which is not targeted by the human shRNA 718160
