GNAT acetylation mechanism. A catalytic glutamate or aspartate acts as a general base to abstract a proton from an amine. The nucleophilic amine attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acetyl moiety, allowing for a direct transfer of the acetyl group. A general acid (usually a tyrosine) reprotonates the thiolate of CoA.
