physiological function | acyl-CoA binding protein, acyl-CoA binding domain (ACBD)6, stimulates the myristoyltransferase reaction of isoform NMT2. The stimulatory effect requires interaction between ACBD6 and NMT2, and is enhanced by binding of ACBD6 to its ligand, C18:2 -CoA. The presence of ACBD6 prevents competition of the myristoyltransferase reaction by C16 -CoA. Mutants of ACBD6 that are either deficient in ligand binding to the N-terminal ACBD or unable to interact with NMT2 do not stimulate activity of NMT2, nor can they protect the enzyme from utilizing the competitor C16 -CoA | Homo sapiens |
