Eukaryotic arylamine N-acetyltransferase. Investigation of substrate specificity by high-throughput screening.

Abstract:

Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NAT; EC 2.3.1.5) catalyse the transfer of acetyl groups from acetylCoA to xenobiotics, including drugs and carcinogens. The enzyme is found extensively in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, yet the endogenous roles of NATs are still unclear. In order to study the properties of eukaryotic NATs, high-throughput substrate and inhibitor screens have been developed using pure soluble recombinant Syrian hamster NAT2 (shNAT2) protein. The assay can be used with a wide r...
