NatB acetyltransferase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NatB acetyltransferase is an enzyme in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae that functions to catalyze the dehydration synthesis of the addition of an acetyl group onto a nascent polypeptide. A list of 18 proteins are known to be acetylated by this enzyme. The subclasses of proteins with abundances of the amino acids aspartic acid, methionine specifically are acetylated.
