methylation-dependent protein binding [GO_0140034]

methylation-dependent protein binding

ID: GO_0140034

Binding to a protein upon methylation of the target protein.

This term should only be used when the binding is shown to require methylation of the target protein: the interaction needs to be tested with and without the PTM. The binding does not need to be at the site of methylation. It may be that the methylation causes a conformational change that allows binding of the protein to another region; this type of methylation-dependent protein binding is valid for annotation to this term.
