Crystal structure of the N-terminal acetylase Ard1 from Sulfolobus solfataricus P2
Structural highlights
FunctionNAT_SACS2 Displays alpha (N-terminal) acetyltransferase activity. Catalyzes the covalent attachment of an acetyl moiety from acetyl-CoA to the free alpha-amino group at the N-terminus of a protein (PubMed:17511810, PubMed:23959863, PubMed:25728374). NAT is able to acetylate the alpha-amino group of methionine, alanine and serine N-terminal residue substrates, however it has a preference for Ser-N-terminal substrates (PubMed:17511810, PubMed:23959863, PubMed:25728374).[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe Scottish Structural Proteomics Facility was funded to develop a laboratory scale approach to high throughput structure determination. The effort was successful in that over 40 structures were determined. These structures and the methods harnessed to obtain them are reported here. This report reflects on the value of automation but also on the continued requirement for a high degree of scientific and technical expertise. The efficiency of the process poses challenges to the current paradigm of structural analysis and publication. In the 5 year period we published ten peer-reviewed papers reporting structural data arising from the pipeline. Nevertheless, the number of structures solved exceeded our ability to analyse and publish each new finding. By reporting the experimental details and depositing the structures we hope to maximize the impact of the project by allowing others to follow up the relevant biology.
