(4) Acetyl-CoA + an N-terminal-L-valyl-[protein] = an N-terminal- N(alpha)-acetyl-L-valyl-[protein] + CoA. (5) Acetyl-CoA + an N-terminal-L-cysteinyl-[protein] = an N-terminal- N(alpha)-acetyl-L-cysteinyl-[protein] + CoA.

-!- N-terminal-acetylases (NATs) catalyze the covalent attachment of an acetyl moiety from acetyl-CoA to the free alpha-amino group at the N-terminus of a protein. -!- This irreversible modification neutralizes the positive charge at the N-terminus and makes the N-terminal residue larger and more hydrophobic. -!- The NatA complex is found in all eukaryotic organisms, and specifically targets N-terminal Ala, Gly, Cys, Ser, Thr, and Val residues, that became available after removal of the initiator methionine. -!- Formerly EC 2.3.1.88.
