Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + lysine in peptide = CoA + N-acetyl-lysine-peptide. [GOC:dph, RHEA:45948]
Peptide-lysine N-acetyltransferase activity refers to the enzymatic activity of transferring an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to the epsilon-amino group of lysine residues within a peptide substrate. This reaction is catalyzed by enzymes belonging to the GNAT (Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase) family.
The acetylation process plays a crucial role in regulating various cellular processes, including protein stability, protein-protein interactions, and signal transduction. It can alter the properties of peptides by:
1. Modifying the charge distribution and hydrophobicity of the lysine residue, affecting its interactions with other molecules.
2. Altering the conformation and flexibility of the peptide, influencing its activity and interactions with other proteins.
3. Creating recognition sites for other proteins, like chaperones or signaling molecules, leading to changes in protein localization or function.
The specific molecular function of peptide-lysine N-acetyltransferase activity can vary depending on the target peptide and the cellular context. It may be involved in:
- **Histone acetylation:** Acetylation of lysine residues in histone proteins, which are involved in DNA packaging, can modulate chromatin structure and accessibility to transcription factors, thereby regulating gene expression.
- **Transcriptional regulation:** Acetylation of non-histone proteins, like transcription factors, can affect their binding to DNA, influencing gene expression.
- **Signal transduction:** Acetylation of signaling proteins can regulate their activity and downstream signaling pathways, affecting cellular responses to various stimuli.
- **Protein stability:** Acetylation can protect proteins from degradation by altering their interaction with proteasomes.
- **Protein-protein interactions:** Acetylation can modulate the interaction of peptides with other proteins, influencing the formation of protein complexes and cellular processes.
Overall, peptide-lysine N-acetyltransferase activity is a versatile enzymatic activity that plays a critical role in regulating diverse cellular functions through lysine acetylation, ultimately contributing to cellular homeostasis and organismal development.'
