Developmental roles of protein N‐terminal acetylation

Abstract excerpt

Discovered more than 50 years ago, N-terminal acetylation (N-Ac) is one of the most common protein modifications. Catalyzed by different N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs), N-Ac was originally believed to mostly promote protein stability. However, several functional consequences at substrate level were recently described that yielded important new insights about the distinct molecular functions for this...
