How are histones acetylated as they emerge from the ribosome? We show that NAA40 cooperates with the NAC complex to enable co-translational acetylation of H2A/H4, revealing NAC as a coordinator of nascent protein modification. Read more about our collaboration with @kirmizislab.bsky.social #cryoEM

NAA40 and NAC cooperate in co-translational histone acetylation in humans

Nature Communications - N-terminal histone acetylation by human NAA40 alters epigenetic signaling and affects gene regulation. Here, the authors combine biochemistry and cryo-EM to unravel the...
