The enzymes glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 1 and 2 (NMT1/2) are inferred to mediate the transfer of a myristoyl (MYS) group from myristoyl-CoA to the glycine (Gly) residue exposed by removal of the aminoterminal methionine residue of nascent NOS3 (eNOS, Nitric oxide synthase 3) (Liu & Sessa 1994). The ability of NMT1/2 to mediate N-myristoylation of a wide array of proteins is well established (Gordon et al. 1991), although their activity on NMT1/2 has not been studied.
