NatA N-alpha-acetyltransferase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
N(alpha)-acetyltransferases, NatA, NatB (CPX-782) and NatC (CPX-781), carry out N-terminal acetylation, one of the most common co-translational modifications. NatA is the major Nalpha-terminal acetyltransferase in the yeast cytosol, responsible for the acetylation of serine, alanine, threonine, and glycine. NAT1 anchors to the ribosome and interacts with nascent polypeptides.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
