Protein
N-alpha-acetyltransferase RimI
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv)
Function
N-alpha-acetyltransferase that specifically mediates the acetylation of N-terminal residues. Able to mediate acetylation of a wide variety of N-terminal residues, with preference for hydrophobic N-termini. Acetylates GroS/GroES and GroEL1. Able to acetylate the ribosomal protein S18, but it is unclear whether it acetylates its N-terminal alanine residue.
Similarity
Belongs to the acetyltransferase family. RimI subfamily.
