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

BMC 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.

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

PLoS 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.

The K46 and K5 capsular polysaccharides produced by Acinetobacter baumannii NIPH 329 and SDF have related structures and the side-chain non-ulosonic acids are 4-O-acetylated by phage-encoded O-acetyltransferases.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Acinetobacter baumannii isolate NIPH 329 carries a novel capsular polysaccharide (CPS) gene cluster, designated KL46, that is closely related to the KL5 locus in A.

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Plant Cell Wall Polysaccharide O-Acetyltransferases

Plants
Plant cell walls are largely composed of polysaccharide polymers, including cellulose, hemicelluloses (xyloglucan, xylan, mannan, and mixed-linkage β-1,3/1,4-glucan), and pectins.

A cancer-specific antigen drives histone acetylation by stabilizing the acetyltransferases

Cell Reports
Summary: Histone acetylation is a critical modification that regulates gene expression by modulating chromatin structure and function. Histone acetyltransferases are essential for maintaining acetylation homeostasis, and the disruption of this balance ...

Discovery of Highly Potent, Selective, and Orally Efficacious p300/CBP Histone Acetyltransferases Inhibitors

, 2020
p300 and CREB-binding protein (CBP) are ubiquitously expressed pleiotropic lysine acetyltransferases and play a key role as transcriptional co-activators that are essential for a multitude of cellular processes.

Cofactor Analogues as Active Site Probes in Lysine Acetyltransferases

, 2019
Lysine acetyltransferases (KATs, also termed histone acetyltransferases, HATs) catalyze the acetylation of substrate lysine residues by employing the cofactor acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA), thereby providing a dynamic control mechanism of protein function ...

The BRCA2 is a histone acetyltransferase [PDF]

Oncogene, 1998
Patients carrying mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 tumor suppressor genes have shown to have high risk in developing breast and ovarian cancers. Two potential functions of BRCA2 were proposed which includes role in the regulation of transcription and also in DNA repair.
