NAT10 is emerging as a critical regulator in the development of various cancers, such as NAT10 increases the stability of mutant p53 to enhance its tumorigenic activity in liver cancer (8) and acetylates p53 at K120 to stabilize p53 by counteracting the effect of Mdm2 to promote cellular proliferation in colorectal cancer (9). The gene discussed is NAT10; the disease is cancer.
