| UniProt functional annotation for P12945 | |||
| UniProt code: P12945. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Non-catalytic component of the NatA N-terminal acetyltransferase, which catalyzes acetylation of proteins beginning with Met-Ser, Met-Gly and Met-Ala. N-acetylation plays a role in normal eukaryotic translation and processing, protect against proteolytic degradation and protein turnover. NAT1 anchors ARD1 and NAT5 to the ribosome and may present the N termini of nascent polypeptides for acetylation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14517307, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1600941}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the N-terminal acetyltransferase A (NatA) complex, which is composed of ARD1, NAT1 and NAT5. Can self-associate. NAT1 associates with the nascent polypeptide chain and the ribosome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14517307}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095}. | |
| Ptm: | The N-terminus is blocked. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 7600 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
