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
