General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the N-acetylation of serotonin into N-acetylserotonin.

Catalytic activity

Acetyl-CoA + a 2-arylethylamine = CoA + an N-acetyl-2-arylethylamine.

Pathway

Aromatic compound metabolism; melatonin biosynthesis; melatonin from serotonin: step 1/2.

Subunit structure

Monomer By similarity. Interacts with YWHAZ; the interaction requires phosphorylation on Thr-29, and modulates the enzymatic activity of AANAT through preventing dephosphorylation and/or proteolysis and stabilizing substrate binding. Subsequently, a second molecule of AANAT can bind, via the phosphorylated Ser-203 site, the other YWHAZ monomer with similar effect By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity.

Induction

Exhibits night/day variations. 150-fold increase during night time in pineal gland. 10-fold increase in retina. On norepinephrine stimulation, inhibited by the proteosome inhibitors, c-Lact and MG132. Ref.1 Ref.2 Ref.4

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated; cAMP-dependent phosphorylation on both N-terminal and C-terminal sites regulates AANAT activity through allowing interaction with 14-3-3 proteins and protecting the enzyme against proteasomal degradation By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the acetyltransferase family. AANAT subfamily.

Contains 1 N-acetyltransferase domain.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

X.

Vmax=1.5 nmol/h/mg enzyme in day

Vmax=175 nmol/h/mg enzyme in night

Vmax=22.2 nmol/h/mg enzyme in day in presence of bisubstrate inhibitor

Vmax=0.46 nmol/h/mg enzyme in night in presence of bisubstrate inhibitor
