Type: | Family | Name: | Acetyltransferase, GNAT, predicted |
Description: | This group represents a predicted acetyltransferase, GNAT family type.Bacillus subtilishas a putative posttranslational modification system of the acuABC genes. Posttranslational modification is an efficient mechanism for controlling the activity of structural proteins, gene expression regulators and enzymes in response to rapidly changing physiological conditions [].The AcuA protein is a member of the Gcn5-related N-acetltransferase (GNAT) superfamily and the AcuC protein is a class I histone deacetylase. The role of the AcuB protein remains unknown. AcuA controls the activity of acetyl-CoA synthetase () by acetylating residue Lys549 [, ]. | Short Name: | AcTrfase_GNAT_prd |
