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). Publication Abstract from PubMed Structural comparison indicates the loop region between beta3 and beta4 of SsArd1 was more extended than corresponding region of mesophilic Nats and formed a plastically hydrogen bond network mainly via two Ser residues. Strikingly, two single-point mutants showed ~3 degrees C decrease in melting temperature, while two other variants showed a ~7 degrees C decrease in melting temperature, which correlated to the seriously reducing enzymatic activity. To our knowledge, this is the first discovery of a loop region capable of remarkably improving protein thermostability and to provide a novel possibility to engineer heat-resistant proteins. Multiple conformations of the loop region confers heat-resistance of SsArd1, a thermophilic NatA.,Chang YY, Hsu CH Chembiochem. 2015 Nov 23. doi: 10.1002/cbic.201500568.
