Meeting the (N-Terminal) End with Acetylation
Cell-fate decisions are tightly linked to cellular energy status. In this issue, Yi et al. (2011) introduce a mechanism by which Bcl-xL lowers the threshold for apoptosis by suppressing acetyl-CoA production, which, in turn, suppresses the N-alpha-acetylation important for activation of the proapoptotic protease caspase-2.
متن کاملControl of mammalian G protein signaling by N-terminal acetylation and the N-end rule pathway.
Rgs2, a regulator of G proteins, lowers blood pressure by decreasing signaling through Gαq. Human patients expressing Met-Leu-Rgs2 (ML-Rgs2) or Met-Arg-Rgs2 (MR-Rgs2) are hypertensive relative to people expressing wild-type Met-Gln-Rgs2 (MQ-Rgs2). We found that wild-type MQ-Rgs2 and its mutant, MR-Rgs2, were destroyed by the Ac/N-end rule pathway, which recognizes N(α)-terminally acetylated (Nt...
متن کاملControl of protein quality and stoichiometries by N-terminal acetylation and the N-end rule pathway.
N(α)-terminal acetylation of cellular proteins was recently discovered to create specific degradation signals termed Ac/N-degrons and targeted by the Ac/N-end rule pathway. We show that Hcn1, a subunit of the APC/C ubiquitin ligase, contains an Ac/N-degron that is repressed by Cut9, another APC/C subunit and the ligand of Hcn1. Cog1, a subunit of the Golgi-associated COG complex, is also shown ...
متن کامل(Hyper)tension release by N-terminal acetylation.
A recent study links N-terminal acetylation and N-end rule degradation to blood pressure regulation. N-terminal mutants of Rgs2, a key G-protein regulator, are differentially processed by N-terminal acetyltransferases and the two branches of the N-end rule pathway. This leads to an imbalance in the signaling governing blood pressure.
متن کاملNetAcet: prediction of N-terminal acetylation sites
We present here a neural network based method for prediction of N-terminal acetylation-by far the most abundant post-translational modification in eukaryotes. The method was developed on a yeast dataset for N-acetyltransferase A (NatA) acetylation, which is the type of N-acetylation for which most examples are known and for which orthologs have been found in several eukaryotes. We obtain correl...
