Abstract
Methylation of biomolecules is a frequent biochemical reaction within the cell, and a plethora of highly specific methyltransferases (MTases) catalyse the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to various substrates. The posttranslational methylation of lysine residues, catalysed by numerous lysine (K)-specific protein MTases (KMTs), is a very common and important protein modification, which recently has been subject to intense studies, particularly in the case of histone proteins. The majority of KMTs belong to a class of MTases that share a defining 'SET domain', and these enzymes mostly target lysines in the flexible tails of histones. However, the so-called seven-β-strand (7BS) MTases, characterized by a twisted beta-sheet structure and certain conserved sequence motifs, represent the largest MTase class, and these enzymes methylate a wide range of substrates, including small metabolites, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. Until recently, the histone-specific Dot1/DOT1L was the only identified eukaryotic 7BS KMT. However, a number of novel 7BS KMTs have now been discovered, and, in particular, several recently characterized human and yeast members of MTase family 16 (MTF16) have been found to methylate lysines in non-histone proteins. Here, we review the status and recent progress on the 7BS KMTs, and discuss these enzymes at the levels of sequence/structure, catalytic mechanism, substrate recognition and biological significance.

Abstract
Protein methylation is believed to occur extensively in creanarchaea. Recently, aKMT, a highly conserved crenarchaeal protein lysine methyltransferase, was identified and shown to exhibit broad substrate specificity in vitro Here, we have constructed an aKMT deletion mutant of the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus islandicus The mutant was viable but showed a moderately slower growth rate than the parental strain under non-optimal growth conditions. Consistent with the moderate effect of the lack of aKMT on the growth of the cell, expression of a small number of genes, which encode putative functions in substrate transportation, energy metabolism, transcriptional regulation, stress response proteins, etc, was differentially regulated by more than twofold in the mutant strain, as compared with that in the parental strain. Analysis of the methylation of total cellular protein by mass spectrometry revealed that methylated proteins accounted for ∼2/3 (1,158/1,751) and ∼1/3 (591/1,757) of the identified proteins in the parental and the mutant strains, respectively, indicating that there is extensive protein methylation in S. islandicus and that aKMT is a major protein methyltransferase in this organism. No significant sequence preference was detected at the sites of methylation by aKMT. Methylated lysine residues, when visible in the structure, are all located on the surface of the proteins. The crystal structure of aKMT in complex with S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) or S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH) reveals that the protein consists of four α helices and seven β sheets, lacking a substrate recognition domain found in PrmA, a bacterial homolog of aKMT, in agreement with the broad substrate specificity of aKMT. Our results suggest that aKMT may serve a role in maintaining the methylation status of cellular proteins required for the efficient growth of the organism under certain non-optimal conditions.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that trimethylates elongation factor-thermo-unstable (EF-Tu) on lysine 5. Lysine 5 methylation occurs in a temperature-dependent manner and is generally only seen when P. aeruginosa is grown at temperatures close to ambient (25 °C) but not at higher temperatures (37 °C). We have previously identified the gene, eftM (for EF-Tu-modifying enzyme), responsible for this modification and shown its activity to be associated with increased bacterial adhesion to and invasion of respiratory epithelial cells. Bioinformatic analyses predicted EftM to be a Class I S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferase. An in vitro methyltransferase assay was employed to show that, in the presence of SAM, EftM directly trimethylates EF-Tu. A natural variant of EftM, with a glycine to arginine substitution at position 50 in the predicted SAM-binding domain, lacks both SAM binding and enzyme activity. Mass spectrometry analysis of the in vitro methyltransferase reaction products revealed that EftM exclusively methylates at lysine 5 of EF-Tu in a distributive manner. Consistent with the in vivo temperature dependence of methylation of EF-Tu, preincubation of EftM at 37 °C abolished methyltransferase activity, whereas this activity was retained when EftM was preincubated at 25 °C. Irreversible protein unfolding at 37 °C was observed, and we propose that this instability is the molecular basis for the temperature dependence of EftM activity. Collectively, our results show that EftM is a thermolabile, SAM-dependent methyltransferase that directly trimethylates lysine 5 of EF-Tu in P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
Protein lysine methylation occurs extensively in the Crenarchaeota, a major kingdom in the Archaea. However, the enzymes responsible for this type of posttranslational modification have not been found. Here we report the identification and characterization of the first crenarchaeal protein lysine methyltransferase, designated aKMT, from the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus islandicus. The enzyme was capable of transferring methyl groups to selected lysine residues in a substrate protein using S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) as the methyl donor. aKMT, a non-SET domain protein, is highly conserved among crenarchaea, and distantly related homologs also exist in Bacteria and Eukarya. aKMT was active over a wide range of temperatures, from ~25 to 90 °C, with an optimal temperature at ~60 to 70 °C. Amino acid residues Y9 and T12 at the N terminus appear to be the key residues in the putative active site of aKMT, as indicated by sequence conservation and site-directed mutagenesis. Although aKMT was identified based on its methylating activity on Cren7, the crenarchaeal chromatin protein, it exhibited broad substrate specificity and was capable of methylating a number of recombinant Sulfolobus proteins overproduced in Escherichia coli. The finding of aKMT will help elucidate mechanisms underlining extensive protein lysine methylation and the functional significance of posttranslational protein methylation in crenarchaea.

Abstract
Methylation is one of the most common protein modifications. Many different prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins are methylated, including proteins involved in translation, including ribosomal proteins (RPs) and translation factors (TFs). Positions of the methylated residues in six Escherichia coli RPs and two Saccharomyces cerevisiae RPs have been determined. At least two RPs, L3 and L12, are methylated in both organisms. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic elongation TFs (EF1A) are methylated at lysine residues, while both release factors are methylated at glutamine residues. The enzymes catalysing methylation reactions, protein methyltransferases (MTases), generally use S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor to add one to three methyl groups that, in case of arginine, can be asymetrically positioned. The biological significance of RP and TF methylation is poorly understood, and deletions of the MTase genes usually do not cause major phenotypes. Apparently methylation modulates intra- or intermolecular interactions of the target proteins or affects their affinity for RNA, and, thus, influences various cell processes, including transcriptional regulation, RNA processing, ribosome assembly, translation accuracy, protein nuclear trafficking and metabolism, and cellular signalling. Differential methylation of specific RPs and TFs in a number of organisms at different physiological states indicates that this modification may play a regulatory role.

Abstract
The mode of action of 3,5-dihydroxy-4-ethyl-trans-stilbene (ES), an antibiotic produced by Xenorhabdus luminescens symbiotically associated with an entomopathogenic nematode, was investigated. ES was active against gram-positive and a number of gram-negative bacteria. In susceptible bacteria this antibiotic caused the inhibition of total RNA synthesis and, to a lesser extent, protein synthesis. At or above MICs, ES triggered a substantial accumulation of an intracellular regulatory compound, guanosine-3',5'-bis-pyrophosphate (ppGpp). This response was also noticed in species of bacteria which have previously not been shown to use ppGpp as a regulatory molecule. The involvement of ppGpp in antibiotic action was confirmed by using an isogenic stringent and a relaxed pair of Escherichia coli strains. The fact that the accumulation of ppGpp was correlated with the susceptibility of various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria to ES suggests that this nucleotide is involved in the regulation of RNA synthesis and growth in all these microorganisms. Thus, inhibition of RNA synthesis via an increase in ppGpp concentrations may represent a mechanism that is prevalent among most bacteria and one that could be exploited for achieving a rapid inhibition of bacterial growth.

Abstract
An electrophoretic system capable of separating 25 S, 23 S, 17.5 S and 16 S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) species was used to study the synthesis and fate of rRNA during amino acid starvation and resupplementation of E. coli relaxed strain KL99. This E. coli relAl strain responded to an amino acid starvation by increasing the rate of synthesis of 25 S and 17.5 S precursor rRNA. When the limiting amino acid was resupplemented, a previously observed 40-fold increase in the cellular guanosine 5'-diphosphate, 3'-diphosphate content [Mol. Gen. Genet. (1983) 192, 5-9] appeared to cause a reduction in new rRNA synthesis. Following amino acid resupplementation, the precursor 25 S and 17.5 S rRNA accumulated during the amino acid starvation were conserved and processed to 23 S and 16 S rRNA species, respectively. This suggests that a modified ribosome assembly scheme involving stable precursor rRNA exists in relAl bacteria during periods of amino acid limitation and resupplementation.

Abstract
Both a correlation and a lack of correlation between guanosine 5'-diphosphate, 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp) level and RNA accumulation have been reported during temperature shifts of E. coli. We have reexamined these phenomena by measuring the total rate of RNA synthesis. After a temperature upshift (23 degrees to 40 degrees C) of E. coli relA+ and relA1 strains, there is an immediate increase in the rate of RNA synthesis which corresponds with the observed in vitro effects of temperature on RNA synthesis (Mangel 1974; Travers 1974). A subsequent increase in ppGpp level is correlated with a decrease in the rate of RNA synthesis. Conversely, following a temperature downshift (40 degrees to 23 degrees C), both relA+ and relA1 bacteria show an immediate decrease in the rate of RNA synthesis. Subsequently all strains studied decrease ppGpp content and correspondingly increase the rate of RNA synthesis after a downshift. By measuring the rate of RNA synthesis we have separated immediate temperature-induced changes in RNA synthesis, from the apparent effects of ppGpp during temperature shifts. As a result, during temperature upshifts and downshifts of relA+, and relA1 bacteria, an inverse correlation between ppGpp content and the total rate of RNA synthesis does exist. The fact that both relA+ and relA1 strains show similar responses to temperature shifts provides additional evidence for the function of relA-independent basal level ppGpp synthesis in regulating RNA synthesis in E. coli.

Abstract
Ribosomal protein methylation has been well documented but its function remains unclear. We have examined this phenomenon using an Escherichia coli mutant (prmB2), which fails to methylate glutamine residue number 150 of ribosomal protein L3. This mutant exhibits a cold-sensitive phenotype: its growth rate at 22 degrees C is abnormally low in complete medium. In addition, strains with this mutation accumulate abnormal and unstable ribosomal particles; 50-S and 30-S subunits are formed, but at a lower rate. Once assembled, ribosomes with unmethylated L3 are fully active by several criteria. (a) Protein synthesis in vitro with purified 70-S prmB2 ribosomes is as active as wild-type using either a natural (R17) or an artificial [poly(U)] messenger. (b) The induction of beta-galactosidase in vivo exhibits normal kinetics and the enzyme has a normal rate of thermal denaturation. (c) These ribosomes are standard when exposed in vitro to a low magnesium concentration or increasing molarities of LiCl. Efficient methylation of L3 in vitro requires either unfolded ribosomes or a mixture of ribosomal protein and RNA. We suggest that the L3-specific methyltransferase may qualify as one of the postulated 'assembly factors' of the E. coli ribosome.

Abstract
In Escherichia coli, a number of ribosomal proteins are methylated. The time of methylation of L7 and L11 during ribosome assembly was studied. It was observed that the methylation of L7 could occur in the free protein stage. Both the 32S and 40S ribonucleoprotein intermediates also contained methylated L7 although the extent of methylation in these particles was not as high as in the free L7, the 45S or the 50S particles. Free L11 could also be partially methylated but the bulk of methylation of this protein was found in the 45S and the 50S particles. It was previously reported that the methylation of L7 is inversely proportional to the growth temperature (Chang 1978), we now show that once L7 is methylated at 25 degree, the methyl group is stable when the culture is shifted to 37 degree C. However, a partial turnover of the methyl group of L7 is observed when the methylated ribosome is chased at 25 degree C. On the other hand, the methyl groups of L11 appear to be stable at either 25 degree C or 37 degree C. We also observe that the extent of methylation of both L7 and L11 stays nearly constant during the cell growth cycle from early log to stationary phase.

Abstract
Three methylated amino acid residues, one residue of N-trimethylalanine and two of N epsilon,N epsilon,N epsilon-trimethyllysine residues, are present in protein L11. The methods used for the identification and location of these unusual amino acids in the sequence of protein L11 are described. Temperature and pH modifications to the eluting buffers enabled the detection of the methylated derivatives of lysine and arginine with a Durrum analyser using routine 90 min amino acid analyses. The presence of N epsilon,N epsilon-dimethyllysine in the hydrolysate of proteins, was revealed by ascending chromatography on thin-layer cellulose plates. The blocked N-terminal amino acid of protein L11, N,N,N-trimethylalanine, although non-volatile, was identified by field desorption mass spectrometry. The identification was confirmed by comparing the N-terminal dipeptide of protein L11 with the synthesised dipeptide Me3Ala-Lys. The behaviour of these methylated amino acids during sequence analysis is described.

Abstract
Protein L11 was isolated from the 50-S subunit of Escherichia coli ribosomes, using two salt extractions and two chromatographic separations on CM-cellulose. The unusual behavior of the protein when run on sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis showed multiple bands. The complete primary structure of protein L11 is presented in detail. Its sequence was derived from peptides obtained by digesting the protein with trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin, Staphylococcus aureus protease and, after modification, with trypsin. Chemical cleavage was performed with cyanogen bromide. Sequencing of the various peptides was achieved by manual micro-dansyl-Edman degradations and automatic methods. The N-terminal residue of the protein is blocked and was not degradable in the liquid-phase sequenator by the Edman method. It was identified by a combination of enzymatic cleavage and mass spectrometry. Protein L11 contain three methylated amino acid residues, a N alpha-trimethylalanine, and two residues of N epsilon-trimethyllysine. Their behaviour and influence in the sequence elucidation are described. The protein contains 141 amino acid residues and has a molecular weight of 14874. Secondary structure predictions of the protein are given, and its sequence is compared with those of other E. coli ribosomal proteins.

Abstract
We observed that the synthesis of basal-level guanosine 5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate (ppGpp) in both relA mutants and relA+ relC strains of Escherichia coli decreased in response to amino acid limitation and that this was accompanied by an increase in ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis. Addition of the required amino acid to starved cultures of relaxed bacteria resulted in the resumption of ppGpp synthesis and a concomitant decrease in RNA production. Our results indicate that relA mutants retain a stringent factor-independent ribosomal mechanism for basal-level ppGpp synthesis. They also suggest that in relA+ bacteria, stringent factor-mediated ppGpp synthesis and the production of basal-level ppGpp are mutually exclusive. These findings substantiate the hypothesis that there are two functionally discrete mechanisms for ppGpp synthesis in E. coli. Through these studies we have also obtained new evidence which indicates that ppGpp serves as a modulator of RNA synthesis during balanced growth as well as under conditions of nutritional downshift and starvation.

Abstract
We measured the methylation of ribosomal proteins from the 30S and 50S subunits of Bacillus subtilis after growing the cells in the presence of [1-14C]methionine and [methyl-3H]methionine. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis revealed a preferential methylation of the 50S ribosomal proteins. Proteins L11 and L16, and possibly L9, L10, L18, and L20, were methylated. On the other hand, only two possibly methylated proteins were found on the 30S subunit. A comparison of these results with those for Escherichia coli suggests a common methylation pattern for the bacterial ribosomal proteins.

Abstract
In the present study, the nature, proportions and distribution of methylated amino acids in ribosomal proteins from Escherichia coli grown in the presence of ethionine and from mutant prm 1 were studied. The undermethylated ribosomes had been labeled by addition in vitro or in vivo of radioactive methyl groups from S-adenosylmethionine or from methionine. The following compounds were identified : N alpha-mono-, di- and trimethylalanines, N epsilon-mono-, di- and trimethyllysines, methylamine and N alpha-trimethylalanyllysine. Except for the latter compound and N-alpha-dimethylalanine, all other derivatives had been previously identified in the literature. It is shown that the dipeptide had been in the past mistaken for N epsilon-monomethyllysine, and arises through incomplete hydrolysis in 24 hrs of the N-terminal peptide bond of protein L11. The results of the present study are discussed in the light of previous work on ribosomal protein methylation by the authors and other workers in the field.

Abstract
Ribosomes, radioactively labelled in vivo with both [1-14C]methionine and [methyl-3H]methionine, have been isolated from both wild-type and thiostrepton-resistant strains of Bacillus megaterium and their constituent proteins separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Ribosomes from the wild-type strain possess one basic protein that is extensively methylated. In contrast no such protein can be detected in ribosomes from the thiostrepton-resistant strain.

Abstract
Two-dimensional polyacrylamide-gel electrophoretic analysis of yeast ribosomal proteins labelled in vivo with 32PO43- revealed that the proteins S2 and S10 of the 40S ribosomal subunit, and the proteins L9, L30, L44 and L45 of the 60S ribosomal subunit, are phosphorylated in vivo. Most of the phosphate groups appeared to be linked to serine residues. Teh number of phosphate groups per molecule of phosphorylated protein species ranged from 0.01 to 0.79. Since most of the phosphorylated ribosomal proteins appear to associate with the pre-ribosomal particles at a very late stage of ribosome assembly, phosphorylation is more likely to play a role in the functioning of the ribosome than in its assembly.

Abstract
Two-dimensional polyacrylamide-gel electrophoretic analysis of yeast ribosomal proteins uniformly labelled in vivo with [methyl-3H]methionine and [1-14C]methionine revealed that four ribosomal proteins are methylated, i.e. proteins S31, S32, L15 and L41. Lysine and arginine appear to be the predominant acceptors of the methyl groups. The degree of methylation ranges from 0.09 to 0.20 methyl group per modified ribosomal protein species.

Abstract
Methylated proteins from HeLa cell cytoplasmic ribosomes have been identified. At least seven proteins are methylated and four of them are mildly acidic. The nature of the methylated amino acid in each protein is presented. In synchronized HeLa cell culture, the extent of methylation for both subunits varies with the cell cycle. Methylation of the 40 S subunit occurs heavily in the late G1 phase whereas methylation of the 60 S subunit is most pronounced in the early S phase.

Abstract
Several thousand mutagenized clones of Escherichia coli were screened for methyl group incorporation into protein in crude extracts, in order to isolate mutants lacking the full complement of methyl groups in ribosomal proteins. One mutant isolated by this method and designated prm-1 incorporated 6-7 methyl groups per ribosome upon incubation of its ribosomes with a partially purified enzyme preparation from E. coli wild-type. The methyl groups were located exclusively in the 50S particle and for the most part (85%) in protein L11. Three methylated amino acids were detected: epsilon-N-trimethyllysine, epsilon-N-monomethyllysine, and an uncharacterized amino acid. These accounted respectively for 4.6, 1.3 and 0.9 methyl groups per ribosome. These results indicate that protein L11 in wild-type contains a stoichiometric amount of these methylated amino acids which are absent in mutant prm-1. Since this mutant is fully viable, its methylation deficiency does not result in a major defect in ribosome assembly or functioning.

Abstract
The methylated neutral amino acids from both 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits of an Escherichia coli K strain were characterized. The 50S ribosomal subunit contains three methylated neutral amino acids: N-monomethylalanine, N-monomethylmethionine, and an as yet unidentified methylated amino acid found in protein L11. Both N-monomethylalanine and N-monomethylmethionine were found in protein L33. The amount of N-monomethylmethionine in this protein, however, is variable but not more than 0.25 molecules per protein. Thus protein L33 from this E. coli K strain has heterogeneity in its N-terminal amino acid and can start with either N-monomethylalanine or N-monomethylmethionine. The N-monomethylmethionine residue was not derived from the reduction of N-formylmethionine in the protein. The 30S ribosomal subunit contains only one methylated neutral amino acid: N-monomethylalanine.

Abstract
Enzymatic methyl ester formation in Escherichia coli ribosomal proteins was observed. Alkali lability of the methylated proteins and derivatization of the methyl groups as methyl esters of 3,5-dinitrobenzoate indicate the presence of protein methyl esters. The esterification reaction occurs predominantly on the 30S ribosomal subunit, with protein S3 as the major esterified protein. When the purified 30S subunit was used as the methyl acceptor, protein S9 was also found to be esterified. The enzyme responsible for the esterification of free carboxyl groups in proteins, protein methylase II (S-adenosyl-L-methionine:protein carboxyl methyltransferase, EC 2.1.1.24), was identified in E. coli Q13. This enzyme is extremely unstable when compared with that from mammalian origin. By molecular sieve chromatography, E. coli protein methylase II showed multiple peaks, with a major broad peak around 120,000 daltons and several minor peaks in the lower-molecular-weight region. Rechromatography of the major enzyme peak showed activities in several fractions that are much lower in molecular weight. The substrate specificity of the E. coli enzyme is similar to that of the mammalian enzyme. The Km value for S-adenosyl-L-methionine is 1.96 X 10(-6) M, and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine was found to be a competitive inhibitor, with a Ki value of 1.75 X 10(-6) M.

Abstract
When cells were incubated with L-[35S] methionine plus L-[Me-3H] methionine, it was found that at least four ribosomal proteins had 3H/35S ratios higher than the rest of the ribosomal proteins, suggesting that they were methylated. The rate of apparent methylation paralleled the rate of amino acid incorporation. Amino acid incorporation into ribosomal proteins revealed several rapidly labeled components. When 3H-labeled amino acid incorporation was chased for 10 min with an excess of non-radioactive amino acids, several proteins reached at least 60% of the specific activity they showed after 150 min of chase. The time lapse between the onset of 3H-labeled amino acid incorporation and arrival at its plateau appeared to differ among various ribosomal proteins of a subunit, suggesting a heterogeneity in the pools of ribosomal proteins.

Abstract
The methylation of myosin and other proteins has been studied using primary cultures of 12-day-old embryonic chick leg muscle. The methyl group of [Me-3H] methionine is incorporated into basic amino acid residues with the formation of Nepsilon-monomethyllysine, Nepsilon-dimethyllysine, Nepsilon-trimethyllysine, 3-methylhistidine, NG-monomethylarginine, and NG-dimethylarginine which are isolated from acid hydrolysates of purified myosin, and of proteins from polysomes and from the cytosol of the cultured muscle cells. In the presence of 0.1 mM cycloheximide, incorporation of [Me-3H] methionine into the polysome-bound proteins was decreased to 16.3% of control levels with no change in the pattern of incorporation into the basic amino acid residues, although protein synthesis was inhibited 97.5%. When protein synthesis was allowed to resume in such cultures by the removal of cycloheximide, polypeptides containing labeled N-methylated residues were released from polysomes into the soluble fraction. Polypeptides containing N-methylated amino acids were also released from polysomes following treatment with 2 mM puromycin. Peptidyl-tRNA, isolated from ribosomes after exposure of cultures to [Me-3H] methionine, contained labeled N-methylated amino acids. When [Me-3H] methionine was incorporated in the presence of cycloheximide, the isolated peptidyl-tRNA still contained N-methylated amino acids although the amount of methylation was 22.4% of control levels. These experiments demonstrate that N-methylation of basic amino acid residues in proteins may occur while the polypeptide is still being synthesized on the ribosome. In addition, N-methylation can occur on the nascent polypeptides in the absence of protein synthesis.
