Naa30 is critically involved in maintaining mitochondrial and Golgi integrity

ABSTRACT: N-terminal acetylation is one of the most common protein modifications in eukaryotes, with emerging roles in regulating protein quality and stoichiometry and targeting and complex formation. The NatC complex is one of the three major N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs). Here, we partially defined the in vivo human NatC Nt-acetylome by combining siNAA30 mediated knockdown with positional proteomics. We identified 51 human NatC substrates and expanded our current knowledge on the substrate repertoire of NatC which now includes proteins harboring Met-Leu, Met-Ile, Met-Phe, Met-Trp, Met-Tyr, Met-Trp, Met-Met, Met-His and Met-Lys N-termini. Next to cytosolic proteins, several organellar proteins were identified as NatC substrates. Interestingly, upon Naa30 depletion, the levels of several organellar proteins were reduced, in particular those of mitochondrial proteins. Further, knockdown of Naa30 induced the loss of membrane potential, clearing and fragmentation of mitochondria. Naa30 depletion also led to disassembly of the Golgi apparatus. However, Naa30 depletion did not affect ER morphology, endosome or peroxisome distribution or microtubule and actin cytoskeletal architecture, suggesting that the observed mitochondrial fragmentation and clearance and Golgi scattering are not due to general disruption of organelles or microtubules. In conclusion, NatC Nt-acetylates a large variety of cytosolic and organellar proteins and is essential for cis-Golgi integrity and mitochondrial function.
