Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread protozoan parasite that causes potentially life-threatening opportunistic disease. New inhibitors of parasite replication are urgently needed, as the current antifolate treatment is also toxic to patients.

Dual lysine and N‐terminal acetyltransferases reveal the complexity underpinning protein acetylation
Protein acetylation is a highly frequent protein modification. However, comparatively little is known about its enzymatic machinery. N‐α‐acetylation (NTA) and ε‐lysine acetylation (KA) are known to be catalyzed by distinct families of enzymes (NATs and ...

Marginal band microtubules are acetylated by αTAT1
The discoid shape of resting platelets is maintained by a peripheral, circular bundle of microtubules called marginal band. Marginal band microtubules are acetylated on lysine 40 of the alpha-tubulin subunits.

The incidence of liver injury in Uyghur patients treated for TB in Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region, China, and its association with hepatic enzyme polymorphisms nat2, cyp2e1, gstm1 and gstt1. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Of three first-line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs, isoniazid is most commonly associated with hepatotoxicity. Differences in INH-induced toxicity have been attributed to genetic variability at several loci, NAT2, CYP2E1 ...

Progress of Acetyltransferase Gene Naa10 in Cancer
N-α-terminal acetyltransferase gene 10 (Naa10) is extensively expressed in eukaryotic cells, and its encoded Naa10p is the catalytic subunit of the NatA complex.

Clinical resistance to amikacin and other aminoglycosides is usually due to the enzymatic acetylation of the antimicrobial molecule. A ubiquitous resistance enzyme among Gram-negatives is the aminoglycoside 6′-N-acetyltransferase type Ib [AAC(6′)-Ib ...

Characterization and epitope mapping of human monoclonal antibodies to PDC-E2, the immunodominant autoantigen of primary biliary cirrhosis [PDF]
Further to define the epitopes of PDC-E2, the major autoantigen in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), we have developed and characterized five human monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies were derived by fusing a regional hepatic lymph node from a patient

O-GlcNAcase:promiscuous hexosaminidase or key regulator of O-GlcNAc signalling? [PDF]
O-GlcNAc signaling is regulated by an opposing pair of enzymes: O-GlcNAc transferase installs and O-GlcNAcase (OGA) removes the modification from proteins.

Identification of Novel Protein Lysine Acetyltransferases in
Posttranslational modifications, such as Nε-lysine acetylation, regulate protein function. Nε-lysine acetylation can occur either nonenzymatically or enzymatically.
