It has been reported that the Numb protein is methylated at lysine 158 and 163 and that this methylation is introduced by the SET8 protein lysine methyltransferase [Dhami et al., (2013) Molecular Cell 50, 565-576]. We studied this methylation in vitro using peptide arrays and recombinant Numb protein as substrates. Numb peptides and protein were incubated with recombinant SET8 purified after expression in E. coli or human HEK293 cells. However, no methylation of Numb by SET8 was detectable. SET8 ...[more]
