Classification and phylogeny for the annotation of novel eukaryotic GNAT acetyltransferases.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2020
The enzymes of the GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) superfamily count more than 870 000 members through all kingdoms of life and share the same structural fold.

Mycobacterial Aminoglycoside Acetyltransferases: A Little of Drug Resistance, and a Lot of Other Roles

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Aminoglycoside acetyltransferases are important determinants of resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics in most bacterial genera. In mycobacteria, however, aminoglycoside acetyltransferases contribute only partially to aminoglycoside susceptibility ...

Identification of Novel Protein Lysine Acetyltransferases in Escherichia coli

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Posttranslational modifications, such as Nε-lysine acetylation, regulate protein function. Nε-lysine acetylation can occur either nonenzymatically or enzymatically.

Histone acetyltransferases CBP/p300 in tumorigenesis and CBP/p300 inhibitors as promising novel anticancer agents

open access: yesTheranostics, 2022
The histone acetyltransferases CBP and p300, often referred to as CBP/p300 due to their sequence homology and functional overlap and co-operation, are emerging as critical drivers of oncogenesis in the past several years.

Histone Acetyltransferases and Stem Cell Identity

open access: yesCancers, 2021
Simple Summary Gene regulation is the major mechanism that allows us to develop from a single cell to a fully formed adult body containing numerous organs and tissues, >200 cell types and a total of about 50 trillion cells. One of the ways our cells turn

A polyamine acetyltransferase regulates the motility and biofilm formation of Acinetobacter baumannii

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial pathogen highly resistant to environmental changes and antimicrobial treatments. Regulation of cellular motility and biofilm formation is important for its virulence, although it is poorly described at the ...

A synopsis of eukaryotic Nα-terminal acetyltransferases: nomenclature, subunits and substrates [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Proceedings, 2009
We have introduced a consistent nomenclature for the various subunits of the NatA-NatE N-terminal acetyltransferases from yeast, humans and other eukaryotes.

Structural and molecular rationale for the diversification of resistance mediated by the Antibiotic_NAT family

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
A comprehensive functional and structural study of the Antibiotic_NAT family of aminoglycoside acetyltransferases provides new insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance to existing and emerging aminoglycoside antibiotics.

Structural insights into WcbI, a novel polysaccharide-biosynthesis enzyme

open access: yesIUCrJ, 2014
Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are protective structures on the surfaces of many Gram-negative bacteria. The principal CPS of the human pathogen and Tier 1 select agent Burkholderia pseudomallei consists of a linear repeat of –3)-2-O-acetyl-6-deoxy-β-d ...
