Arylamine N-acetyltransferase responsible for acetylation of 2-aminophenols in Streptomyces griseus.
An arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) responsible for the N acetylation of exogenous 3-amino-4-hydroxybenzoic acid in Streptomyces griseus was identified and characterized. This enzyme was distinct from other eukaryotic and bacterial NATs in that it acetylated various 2-aminophenol derivatives more effectively than it acetylated 5-aminosalicylic acid, and thus it may be involved in the metabol...
متن کاملStructure of Mesorhizobium loti arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1.
The arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT) enzymes have been found in a broad range of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. The NAT enzymes catalyse the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl Co-enzyme A onto the terminal nitrogen of a range of arylamine, hydrazine and arylhydrazine compounds. Recently, several NAT structures have been reported from different prokaryotic sources including S...
متن کاملN-acetyltransferase is involved in baicalein-induced N-acetylation of 2-aminofluorene and DNA-2-aminofluorene adduct formation in human leukemia HL-60 cells.
Many arylamine and hydrazine drugs are acetylated by cytosolic N-acetyltransferase (NAT). The human promyelocytic leukemia cell line (HL-60) has been shown to acetylate arylamine and contain NAT activity. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not baicalein could affect N-acetylation of 2-aminofluorene (AF) in HL-60 cells. Acetylated and nonacetylated AF were determined by using ...
متن کاملNew spectrophotometric and radiochemical assays for acetyl-CoA: arylamine N-acetyltransferase applicable to a variety of arylamines.
Simple and sensitive spectrophotometric and radiochemical procedures are described for the assay of acetyl-CoA:arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT; EC 2.3.1.5), which catalyzes the reaction acetyl-CoA + arylamine----N-acetylated arylamine + CoASH. The methods are applicable to crude tissue homogenates and blood lysates. The spectrophotometric assay is characterized by two features: (i) NAT activ...
متن کاملEffects of aspirin on the in vitro and in vivo acetylation of 2-aminofluorene in Sprague-Dawley rats.
The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of acetylsalicylic acid acid on the in vitro N-acetyltransferase (NAT) enzyme activity and in vivo acetylation of 2-aminofluorene in laboratory rats. In the in vitro experiments, cytosols of blood, bladder, colon and liver cells, with or without acetylsalicylic acid co-treatment, showed different percentages of 2-aminofluorene acetylation...
