General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism N-terminally acetylated Ac-AANAT is degraded through the recognition of its N-terminally acetylated N-terminal Met residue by the Ac/N-end rule pathway, whereas the non-N-terminally acetylated AANAT is targeted by the Arg/N-end rule pathway, which recognizes the unacetylated N-terminal Met-Leu sequence of rat AANAT. Degradation of Lys8Arg mutants of rat AANAT is mediated by polyubiquitylation of its Lys residue(s) Rattus norvegicus
metabolism the N-terminal sequence of human AANAT differs from that of rodent AANATs. The human enzyme is longer-lived than its rat counterpart and appears to be refractory to degradation by the N-end rule pathway Homo sapiens
