Summary of NAA10 mutations in organisms

Organism scientific name Homolog Symbol of mutation Type of mutation Protein effect/ molecular mechanism Phenotype Ref.
Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ARD1, yNaa10 ard1::HIS3 Inserting a Barn HI fragment containinng the HIS3 gene into the Barn HI site of plasmid YCpE18 that lies within the functional sequence of ARD1 Defect in transcription of a-specific genes, Permit expression of the information resident at HML Reduced viability, sensitive to heat shock and salt, fail to enter stationay phase, lack of glycogen accumulation, sporulation defect, poor mating, fail to undergo meiosis 8,9
nat1-5::LEU; ard1 Mating nat1 and ard1 single mutant for nat1 ard1 double mutant Impaired N-terminal activity (predicted); single mutants of nat1 (Naa15) and ard1 (Naa10) displayed identical phenotypes, no additional phenotypes are found in double mutant Inable to sporulate, slow growth, reduced mating, inhibit sporulation, impaired resistance to heat shock, fail to G1 arrest, partial depression of HML, fail to accumulate storage 4,7
y[hNatA S37P] A strain without yNatA and expression human NatA with a mutated hNaa10 S37P Lack of proper complex formation with hNaa15 and reduced in vitro catalytic activity, decreased of Nt-acetylome using COFRADIC, increase in the Hsp70 family proteins Growth defect, sensitive to caffeine and cycloheximide, Impaired resistance to heatshock, decreased mating efficiency 34,35
yS39P S39P mutation in homologous position to human Naa10 S37 No obious effects 35
Plant Arabidopsis At5g13780, AtNAA10 naa10-1 T-DNA insertion-disrupting gene expression Impaired N-terminal activity; Naa15 mutation also shared same phenotypes Growth retardation in vegetative stage, lethal, abortion of embryogenesis, drought-adapted root morphology 36
amiNaa10 Depleted-RNA silencing
Protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei TbARD1 Ard1 null mutant Removal of the ARD1 coding region Impaired N-terminal activity (predicted) Impaired growth in bloodstream-form cells, reduced differentiation to insect-stage cells 37
Worm Caenorhabditis elegans DAF-31 daf-31(m655) Remove 151 bp of promoter upstream of the ATG start codon and 242 bp of daf-31 coding region dowstream of the ATG start codon Regulates the transcriptional activity of DAF-16 (FOXO transcription factor) Developmental larval arrest, fat accumulation, formation of dauer-like larvae under starvation conditions, decreased lifespan, no SDS-resistant, cannot resume development and reproduction after food re-providing 38
daf-31 RNAi RNAi knock down; reducing daf-31 mRNA Decreased lifespan
daf-31 OE Overexpression; full length dar-31 genomic DNA was cloned into pGEM-T Increase lifespan in daf-2 mutant, enhancing reproduction
Fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster vnc vncBDk Frame shift mutation in acetyltransferase-truncated enzymatic region Impaired N-terminal activity (predicted) Pleiotropic oogenesis, aberrant mitosis, egg chamber encapsulation defects, nurse cell chromatin dispersion defects 39
vnc14 Copia insertion in the intron
Zebra fish Danio rerio wufc66b08, zNaa10 naa10MO Morpholino-based knockdown Predicted N-terminal activity; zNaa10 has identical substrate specificity to hNaa10 in vitro Lethality, growth retardation, bent axis and tails, abnormal eyes, less pigmentation 40
