Nascent-polypeptide-associated complex alpha polypeptide, also known as NACA, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the NACA gene. [5] [6] [7]

Function

NACA prevents short recently synthesized (i.e., nascent) ribosome-associated polypeptides from inappropriate interactions with cytosolic proteins. NACA binds nascent-polypeptide domains emerging from ribosomes unless it contains a signal peptide which is fully exposed. Depletion of NACA from ribosomes carrying nascent polypeptides allows the signal recognition particle (SRP) to crosslink to polypeptides regardless of whether or not they contain signal peptides or not. In the absence of NACA, proteins lacking signal peptides can be mis-translocated into the endoplasmic reticulum. [6] [8]

The NACA protein is expressed in bone during development and acts as a transcriptional coactivator in conjunction with acidic activators. [7]

Interactions

NACA has been shown to interact with BTF3, FADD, [9] C-jun, [10] and 3 members of taxilin family. [11]

Histone acetyltransferase p300 also known as p300 HAT or E1A-associated protein p300 also known as EP300 or p300 is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the EP300 gene. It functions as histone acetyltransferase that regulates transcription of genes via chromatin remodeling by allowing histone proteins to wrap DNA less tightly. This enzyme plays an essential role in regulating cell growth and division, prompting cells to mature and assume specialized functions (differentiate), and preventing the growth of cancerous tumors. The p300 protein appears to be critical for normal development before and after birth.
