Summary: Most eukaryotic proteins are N-terminally acetylated. This modification can be recognized as a signal for selective protein degradation (degron) by the N-end rule pathways. However, the prevalence and specificity of such degrons in the proteome are unclear. Here, by systematically examining...

Zusammenfassung:Summary: Most eukaryotic proteins are N-terminally acetylated. This modification can be recognized as a signal for selective protein degradation (degron) by the N-end rule pathways. However, the prevalence and specificity of such degrons in the proteome are unclear. Here, by systematically examining how protein turnover is affected by N-terminal sequences, we perform a comprehensive survey of degrons in the yeast N-terminome. We find that approximately 26% of nascent protein N termini encode cryptic degrons. These degrons exhibit high hydrophobicity and are frequently recognized by the E3 ubiquitin ligase Doa10, suggesting a role in protein quality control. In contrast, N-terminal acetylation rarely functions as a degron. Surprisingly, we identify two pathways where N-terminal acetylation has the opposite function and blocks protein degradation through the E3 ubiquitin ligase Ubr1. Our analysis highlights the complexity of N-terminal degrons and argues that hydrophobicity, not N-terminal acetylation, is the predominant feature of N-terminal degrons in nascent proteins.
