Abstract excerpt
N-terminal acetylation can occur cotranslationally on the initiator methionine residue or on the penultimate residue if the methionine is cleaved. We investigated the three N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs), Ard1p/Nat1p, Nat3p and Mak3p. Ard1p and Mak3p are significantly related to each other by amino acid sequence, as is Nat3p, which was uncovered in this study using programming alignment procedures. Mutants...
