NARG1 (NMDA (N-methyl-δ-aspartate) receptor-regulated gene 1), also known as NATH (N-terminal acetyltransferase), TBDN100 (tubedown-1) or Ga19 (gastric cancer antigen Ga19), is a cytoplasmic protein that contains eight TPR repeats. NARG1 is expressed at high levels in dividing tissues such as bone marrow, testis and embryonal brain and it is overexpressed in papillary thyroid carcinomas. NARG1 interacts with ARD1 or ARD2 forming a complex that exhibits N-terminal (α) acetyltransferase activity. The complex interacts with ribosomal subunits functioning in cotranslational acetylation. During apoptosis, both NARG1 and ARD1 are cleaved by caspases which results in decreased acetyltransferase activity. Knockdown of NARG1 in HeLa cells leads to apoptosis, indicating that properly functioning NARG1 is essential for cell viability. In addition, this suggests NARG1 as a potential target in cancer therapy
