The arylalkylamine N-acyltransferases (AANATs) are enzymes that catalyze the acyl-CoA-dependent formation of N-acylarylalkylamides: acyl-CoA + arylalkylamine → N-acylarylalkylamides + CoA-SH. Herein, we describe our study of a previously uncharacterized AANAT from Bombyx mori: Bm-iAANAT3. Bm-iAANAT3 catalyzes the direct formation of N-acylarylalkylamides and accepts a broad range of short-chain acyl-CoA thioesters and amines as substrates. Acyl-CoA thioesters possessing an acyl chain length >10 carbon atoms are not substrates for Bm-iAANAT3. We report that Bm-iAANAT3 is a "versatile generalist", most likely, functioning in amine acetylation - a reaction in amine inactivation/excretion, cuticle scl... More
