From transglutaminases (TGs) to arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs): Insight into the role of a spatially conserved aromatic amino acid position in the active site of these two families of enzymes

open access: yesBiochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2020
Transglutaminases (TG) and arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NAT) are important family of enzymes. Although they catalyze different reactions and have distinct structures, these two families of enzymes share a spatially conserved catalytic triad (Cys, His, Asp residues).

Piperidinols that show anti-tubercular activity as inhibitors of arylamine N-acetyltransferase: an essential enzyme for mycobacterial survival inside macrophages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Latent M. tuberculosis infection presents one of the major obstacles in the global eradication of tuberculosis (TB). Cholesterol plays a critical role in the persistence of M. tuberculosis within the macrophage during latent infection.

Simultaneous Suppression of Two Distinct Serotonin N-Acetyltransferase Isogenes by RNA Interference Leads to Severe Decreases in Melatonin and Accelerated Seed Deterioration in Rice

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Serotonin N-acetyltransferase (SNAT) is the penultimate enzyme in the melatonin biosynthetic pathway, in which serotonin is converted into N-acetylserotonin (NAS) in plants.

Root phloem-specific expression of the plasma membrane amino acid proton co-transporter AAP3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Amino acids are regarded as the nitrogen ‘currency’ of plants. Amino acids can be taken up from the soil directly or synthesized from inorganic nitrogen, and then circulated in the plant via phloem and xylem.

Arylamine N-acetyltransferase from chicken liver. I. Monoclonal antibodies, immunoaffinity purification, and amino acid sequences.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1988
Five monoclonal antibodies against arylamine acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.5) from the chicken liver were established by immunizing a mouse with a partially purified enzyme preparation. None of the antibodies cross-reacted with arylamine N-acetyltransferase from the livers of cow, rabbit, and rat, nor with arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase from the ...
