• Co-translational, post-translational, and non-catalytic roles of N-terminal acetyltransferases 

      Aksnes, Henriette; Ree, Rasmus Moen; Arnesen, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Recent studies of N-terminal acetylation have identified new N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs) and expanded the known functions of these enzymes beyond their roles as ribosome-associated co-translational modifiers. For ...
    • Hydroxylation of the Acetyltransferase NAA10 Trp38 Is Not an Enzyme-Switch in Human Cells 

      Ree, Rasmus Moen; Krogstad, Karoline; Jakobsson, Magnus E.; Arnesen, Thomas; McTiernan, Nina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      NAA10 is a major N-terminal acetyltransferase (NAT) that catalyzes the cotranslational N-terminal (Nt-) acetylation of 40% of the human proteome. Several reports of lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) activity by NAA10 exist, ...
    • Mechanism of actin N-terminal acetylation 

      Rebowski, Grzegorz; Boczkowska, Malgorzata; Drazic, Adrian; Ree, Rasmus Moen; Goris, Marianne; Arnesen, Thomas; Dominguez, Roberto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      About 80% of human proteins are amino-terminally acetylated (Nt-acetylated) by one of seven Nt-acetyltransferases (NATs). Actin, the most abundant protein in the cytoplasm, has its own dedicated NAT, NAA80, which acts ...
    • A novel NAA10 p.(R83H) variant with impaired acetyltransferase activity identified in two boys with ID and microcephaly 

      Ree, Rasmus Moen; Geithus, Anni Sofie; Tørring, Pernille Mathiesen; Sørensen, Kristina Pilekær; Damkjær, Mads; Lynch, Sally Ann; Arnesen, Thomas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-07)
      Background N-terminal acetylation is a common protein modification in human cells and is catalysed by N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs), mostly cotranslationally. The NAA10-NAA15 (NatA) protein complex is the major NAT, ...
