This type of modification alters the nature of the N terminus, which can interfere with the function of the modified protein by disrupting protein interactions, function, localization, degradation, hydrophobicity, or charge. Nt acylation is found in all domains of life and is a highly common occurrence in eukaryotic cells. However, in prokaryotes very few cases of Nt acylation have been reported. It was once thought that Nt acylation of proteins, other than ribosomal proteins, was uncommon in prokaryotes, but recent evidence suggests that this modification may be more common than once realized. In this review, we discuss what is known about prokaryotic Nt acetylation and the acetyltransferases that are responsible, as well as recent advancements in this field and currently used methods to study Nt acetylation.</p>","PeriodicalId":72760,"journal":{"name":"Current trends in microbiology","volume":"16 ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10062008/pdf/nihms-1878358.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10299607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mutations within the spike's receptor-binding domain may eventually reduce vaccine efficacy, necessitating periodic updates. Vaccine-induced immunity could be broadened by adding T cell-inducing antigens such as SARS-CoV-2's nucleoprotein (N). Here we describe two replication-defective chimpanzee adenovirus (AdC) vectors from different serotypes expressing SARS-CoV-2 N either in its wild-type form or fused into herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D (gD), an inhibitor of an early T cell checkpoint. The vaccines induce potent and sustained CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell responses that are broadened upon inclusion of gD. Depending on the vaccine regimen booster immunizations increase magnitude and breadth of T cell responses. Epitopes that are recognized by the vaccine-induced T cells are highly conserved among global SARS-CoV-2 isolates indicating that addition of N to COVID-19 vaccines may lessen the risk of loss of vaccine-induced protection due to variants.</p>","PeriodicalId":72760,"journal":{"name":"Current trends in microbiology","volume":"15 ","pages":"1-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9328080/pdf/nihms-1789529.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40554649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
