IUBMB Comments

N-terminal acetylases (NATs) catalyse the covalent attachment of an acetyl moiety from acetyl-CoA to the free α-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, and may also play a role in membrane targeting and gene silencing. The NatB complex is found in all eukaryotic organisms, and specifically targets N-terminal L-methionine residues attached to Asn, Asp, Gln, or Glu residues at the second position.
