ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.257

Accepted Name
N-terminal L-serine N(alpha)-acetyltransferase NatD
Reaction catalysed
  • acetyl-CoA + N-terminal L-seryl-[histone H4] <=> CoA + H(+) + N-terminal N(alpha)-acetyl-L-seryl-[histone H4]
  • acetyl-CoA + N-terminal L-seryl-[histone H2A] <=> CoA + H(+) + N-terminal N(alpha)-acetyl-L-seryl-[histone H2A]
Comment(s)
  • N-terminal-acetylases (NATs) catalyze the covalent attachment of an acetyl moiety from acetyl-CoA to the free alpha-amino group at the N-terminus of a protein.
  • This irreversible modification neutralizes the positive charge at the N-terminus and makes the N-terminal residue larger and more hydrophobic.
  • NatD is found in all eukaryotic organisms, and acetylates solely the serine residue at the N-terminus of histones H2A or H4.
  • Efficient recognition and acetylation by NatD requires at least the first 30 to 50 highly conserved amino acid residues of the histone N terminus.
  • Formerly EC 2.3.1.88.
