Hunger is not a hindrance for N-terminal acetylation (14.03.2019)

Arnesen Lab reveals that the global level of N-terminal acetylation, a highly abundant protein modification in eukaryotes, remains stable in starving yeast cells despite an overall decrease in the cellular level of acetyl-CoA. The findings, described in the December issue of Molecular & Cellular Proteomics¸ represent the first comprehensive study of metabolic regulation of N-terminal... Les mer

NAA10 - A Jack-of-all-trades protein in human cells

A Jack of all Trades in Cancer Cells (14.03.2019)

Cancer is a complex disease caused by a multitude of factors gone wrong in the cell. NAA10 may be one such factor. This is a protein that performs many different tasks, including the most common which is catalyzing the acetylation of cellular proteins. NAA10 can therefore be viewed as a ”Jack of all trades”-protein. For two decades it has been linked to cancer progression, but recent data puts... Les mer
