Human NMT was found to be phosphorylated by non-receptor tyrosine kinase family members of Lyn. a site-directed mutagenesis study indicated that substitution of tyrosine 100 with phenylalanine served NMT as a poor substrate for the Lyn kinase.
Human NMT was found to be phosphorylated by non-receptor tyrosine kinase family members of Lyn, Fyn and Lck. Tyr100 is the principle phosphorylation site on hNMT for Lyn and Fyn. The significance of a phosphorylation-dependent interaction between NMT and a tyrosine kinase is not known at present.
