The NAA10 gene is located on the X chromosome at position Xq28 and consists of eight exons . The gene encodes multiple isoforms through alternative splicing, which results in different protein variants . The primary function of the NAA10 protein is to catalyze the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to the N-terminal amino group of nascent polypeptides .
NAA10, in conjunction with its auxiliary subunit NAA15, forms the NatA complex. This complex is responsible for the N-terminal acetylation of proteins, a modification that occurs co-translationally as the polypeptide emerges from the ribosome . N-terminal acetylation is one of the most common protein modifications in eukaryotic cells and is essential for normal cell function .
The NatA complex specifically acetylates proteins that have a small, uncharged N-terminal residue following the initiator methionine, which is often cleaved off . This modification can affect protein stability, localization, and interactions, thereby influencing various cellular processes .
NAA10 is involved in several critical biological processes, including:
Recombinant human NAA10 is used in research to study its function and role in various biological processes. Understanding the mechanisms of NAA10 and its interactions with other proteins can provide insights into the development of therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with its dysfunction .
