Last X-Mas, the ribosome gave you methionine, but the very next day, MetAP took it away. This year, to save histones from tears, NatD gives you an acetyl group. ⭐️ Explore our latest paper with the Deuerling lab @uni-konstanz.de and Shu-ou Chan lab @caltech.edu! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Mechanism of cotranslational modification of histones H2A and H4 by MetAP1 and NatD

NAC enables cotranslational N-terminal processing of histones H2A and H4 by recruiting MetAP1 and NatD at the ribosomal tunnel.
