acetyl-CoA:N-terminal-L-seryl-[histone 4/2A] L-serine Nalpha-acetyltransferase
N-terminal-acetylases (NATs) catalyse the covalent attachment of an acetyl moiety from acetyl-CoA to the free alpha-amino group at the N-terminus of a protein. This irreversible modification neutralizes the positive charge at the N-terminus and makes the N-terminal residue larger and more hydrophobic. NatD is found in all eukaryotic organisms, and acetylates solely the serine residue at the N-terminus of histones H2A or H4. Efficient recognition and acetylation by NatD requires at least the first 30 to 50 highly conserved amino acid residues of the histone N terminus.
