N-terminal protein acetylation is one of the most common protein modifications in eucaryotes and is catalyzed co-translationally by N-terminal aceytltransferases (Nats). Regarding the number of predictaed substrates, NatA is the main Nat complex in human and yeast and is composed of the catalytic su...
Knockout of the N-acetyltransferase AtNAA50 causes severe dwarfism the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana but does not affect the activity of the essential NatA complex.
Protein acetylation is a universally conserved modification occurring on N-termini (N--acetylation, NTA) and on internal lysines residues (-lysine-acetylation, KA). So far, NTA and KA were known to be supported by distinct families of enzymes (NATs and KATs, respectively), despite most of them sha...
