Ansamitocins are potent antitumor agents produced by Actinosynnema pretiosum. As deduced from their structures, an N-methylation on the amide bond is required among the various modifications. The encoded protein by asm10 belongs to SAM-dependent methyltransferase family. Through gene inactivation and complementation, asm10 was proved to be responsible for the N-methylation of ansamitocins. Asm10 is 33.0 kDa in size and present as monomer as determined by gel filtration. Using N-desmethyl-ansamitocin P-3 as substrate, the optimal temperature and pH were determined to be 32 °C and 10.0 respectively for Asm10 catalysis. Asm10 also showed broad substrate flexibility toward other N-desmethyl ansamycins and synthetic indolin-2-ones. Through site-directed mutagenesis, Asp154 and Leu155 of Asm10 were confirmed to be essential for its catalysis possibly thorough the binding of SAM. The characterization of this unique N-methyltransferase enriched the toolbox for engineering N-methylated derivatives from both natural and synthetic compounds, which will allow modification of known potential drugs.
