PFN2 co-operates with NAA80 to acetylate actin
The cell motility regulator NAA80 is assisted by Profilin 2 (25.09.2020)
Actin is modified by N-terminal acetylation which regulates its role in steering cellular architecture and cell motility. Now the machinery performing this acetylation is uncovered.
The NAA10 Asn101Lys variant disrupts the NAA10-NAA15 (NatA) complex and thereby the ability of this complex to carry out protein N-terminal acetylation.
