Gene Description

NAA10 (N-alpha-acetyltransferase 10, ARD1A) is the catalytic subunit of the NatA N-terminal acetyltransferase complex, the major co-translational N-terminal acetyltransferase in human cells. In complex with its auxiliary subunit NAA15, which anchors the enzyme to the ribosome, NAA10 transfers an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to the free alpha-amino group of nascent polypeptide N-termini that begin with small residues (Ser, Ala, Thr, Gly, Cys, Val) exposed after initiator-methionine excision. This irreversible modification affects protein folding, stability, complex assembly, targeting and degradation. NatA activity is further modulated by the associated factors HYPK and NAA50 (the NatE catalytic subunit). NAA10 acts predominantly in the cytoplasm on ribosome-associated nascent chains, with an additional nuclear pool. The free (NAA15-unbound) form has been reported to perform internal (lysine) acetylation of selected substrates (e.g. HIF1A, HSPA1A/B, histone H4), and NAA10 has been implicated in several context-dependent regulatory roles. NAA10 is X-linked (Xq28); pathogenic variants cause Ogden syndrome and related N-terminal acetyltransferase deficiency disorders.

Summary: Phylogenetic inference of N-terminal glutamate acetylation. Acidic (Glu/Asp) N-termini are the specificity of NatB/NatC-type complexes, not of NatA/NAA10, whose substrates are small residues exposed after Met removal.
Reason: NAA10/NatA acetylates Ser/Ala/Thr/Gly/Cys/Val N-termini, not acidic Glu N-termini; this IBA transfer over-extends the family substrate range to a specificity not supported for NAA10.

Core Functions

Catalytic subunit of the NatA complex catalyzing co-translational N-terminal (alpha-amino) acetylation of nascent polypeptides bearing small N-terminal residues (Ser, Ala, Thr, Gly, Cys, Val) exposed after initiator-methionine excision, using acetyl-CoA (EC 2.3.1.255).

Supporting Evidence:
  • file:human/NAA10/NAA10-uniprot.txt
    Catalytic subunit of N-terminal acetyltransferase complexes which display alpha (N-terminal) acetyltransferase activity
  • file:human/NAA10/NAA10-uniprot.txt
    Acetylates amino termini that are devoid of initiator methionine

As the catalytic component of the ribosome-associated NatA complex, NAA10 partners with the auxiliary subunit NAA15 (which anchors the enzyme to the ribosome) to act co-translationally on emerging nascent chains.

Molecular Function:
ribosome binding
In Complex:
NatA complex
Supporting Evidence:
  • file:human/NAA10/NAA10-uniprot.txt
    Interacts with the ribosome
  • file:human/NAA10/NAA10-uniprot.txt
    Component of the N-terminal acetyltransferase A complex (also called the NatA complex) composed of NAA10 and NAA15

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: To what extent is the internal (lysine) acetyltransferase activity of free NAA10 a genuine physiological function versus an in vitro property of the NAA15-unbound enzyme?

Q: How do Ogden syndrome variants (e.g. Ser37Pro) differentially impair NatA catalysis, NAA15 binding, and ribosome association?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: N-terminal acetylome (N-terminal COFRADIC / SILAC) profiling in NAA10 patient-variant versus wild-type cells to quantify substrate-specific loss of Nt-acetylation.

Experiment: Reconstitution of NatA with and without NAA15/HYPK/NAA50 to dissect how each auxiliary factor modulates NAA10 catalytic specificity and ribosome binding.

Experiment: Targeted proteomics to test whether reported lysine-acetylation substrates (HIF1A, HSPA1A, TSC2) are modified by free NAA10 in vivo under physiological conditions.
