Gene Ontology Details

Gene Ontology

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code. SGD has manually curated and high-throughput GO Annotations, both derived from the literature, as well as computational, or predicted, annotations. Click "Gene Ontology Details" to view all GO information and evidence for this locus as well as biological processes it shares with other genes.

Macromolecular complex annotations are imported from the Complex Portal. These annotations have been derived from physical molecular interaction evidence extracted from the literature and cross-referenced in the entry, or by curator inference from information on homologs in closely related species or by inference from scientific background.


Phenotype Details

Phenotype

Phenotype annotations for a gene are curated single mutant phenotypes that require an observable (e.g., "cell shape"), a qualifier (e.g., "abnormal"), a mutant type (e.g., null), strain background, and a reference. In addition, annotations are classified as classical genetics or high-throughput (e.g., large scale survey, systematic mutation set). Whenever possible, allele information and additional details are provided. Click "Phenotype Details" to view all phenotype annotations and evidence for this locus as well as phenotypes it shares with other genes.


Summary
Non-essential gene; null mutant is defective in protein N-terminal acetylation and shows increased heat sensitivity, decreased mating efficiency, reduced mitophagy and respiratory growth rate, lower survival in stationary phase, and decreased competitive fitness; overexpression causes increased chromosome instability
Disease Details

Disease

Disease Annotations consist of three mandatory components: a gene product, a term from the Disease Ontology (DO) controlled vocabulary and an evidence code. SGD provides manually curated DO Annotations derived from the literature. Click "Disease Details" to view all Disease information and evidence for this locus as well as diseases it shares with other genes.


Summary
Yeast NAT1 is homologous to human NAA15, and has been used to study clinical features of affected individuals with disrupted NAA15, which include variable levels of intellectual disability, delayed speech and motor milestones, and autism spectrum disorder
Interaction Details

Interaction

Interaction annotations are curated by BioGRID and include physical or genetic interactions observed between at least two genes. An interaction annotation is composed of the interaction type, name of the interactor, assay type (e.g., Two-Hybrid), annotation type (e.g., manual or high-throughput), and a reference, as well as other experimental details.

Summary
NAT1 encodes an auxiliary subunit of a protein N-terminal acetyltransferase (NAT). The enzymatic reaction involves transferring an acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A to N-terminal residues of nascent polypeptides. It is one of the most frequent protein modifications in eukaryotes, affecting about 57% of yeast proteins and 84% of human proteins. There are three major NATs in yeast, NatA, NatB and NatC, that differ in their substrate specificities. Nat1p and a catalytic subunit Ard1p are components of NatA, whose role is to acetylate penultimate Ser, Ala, Gly, Thr, Val or Cys residues left after removal of the N-terminal methionine by aminopeptidases Map1p or Map2p. NatA is associated with ribosomes, consistent with the process of N-terminal acetylation occurring cotranslationally. The auxiliary subunit Nat1p serves as an anchor to the ribosome. Both ARD1 and NAT1 have been implicated in control of growth rate, silencing at the silent mating type locus HML and in entry into the G0 growth phase. Some of these processes may be associated with silencing proteins Sir3p and Orc3p that are targets of NatA. Since the ubiquitin-dependent protein turnover requires access to a free alpha-amino group at the N terminus, blocking the N-terminal residues by acetylation may be a contributing factor in protecting the modified proteins, such as Sir3p and Orc1p, from proteolytic degradation. Both components of NatA are conserved from yeast to humans and human orthologs, NAA10 and NAA15, can complement yeast ard1 and nat1 mutations. In humans, NatA activity has been associated with vascular, hematopoietic and neuronal growth, development and cancer progression.

Expression Details

Expression

Expression data are derived from records contained in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and are first log2 transformed and normalized. Referenced datasets may contain one or more condition(s), and as a result there may be a greater number of conditions than datasets represented in a single clickable histogram bar. The histogram division at 0.0 separates the down-regulated (green) conditions and datasets from those that are up-regulated (red).
