• Biochemical analysis of novel NAA10 variants suggests distinct pathogenic mechanisms involving impaired protein N‑terminal acetylation 

      McTiernan, Nina; Tranebjærg, Lisbeth; Bjørheim, Anna Steensen; Hogue, Jacob S.; Wilson, William G.; Schmidt, Berkley; Boerrigter, Melissa M.; Nybo, Maja L.; Smeland, Marie; Tümer, Zeynep; Arnesen, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      NAA10 is the catalytic subunit of the N-terminal acetyltransferase complex, NatA, which is responsible for N-terminal acetylation of nearly half the human proteome. Since 2011, at least 21 different NAA10 missense variants ...
