More than 80% of human proteins are N-terminal (Nt)–acetylated during translation. In contrast, actin, the most abundant protein in the cytoplasm of animal cells, is Nt-acetylated posttranslationally and following a unique multistep mechanism that has remained poorly characterized. Here, we describe the discovery of actin’s N-terminal acetyltransferase (NAT), NAA80. We further demonstrate that actin Nt-acetylation plays essential roles in filament assembly, cytoskeleton organization, and cell motility, resulting in a net increase in the ratio of monomeric to filamentous actin and fewer lamellipodia and filopodia. These effects converge to reduce cell hypermotility. This work establishes the role of Nt-acetylation for the most abundant cytoskeletal protein in animals and reveals a NAT acting posttranslationally and on a single dedicated substrate. Actin, one of the most abundant proteins in nature, participates in countless cellular functions ranging from organelle trafficking and pathogen motility to cell migration and regulation of gene transcription. Actin’s cellular activities depend on the dynamic transition between its monomeric and filamentous forms, a process exquisitely regulated in cells by a large number of actin-binding and signaling proteins. Additionally, several posttranslational modifications control the cellular functions of actin, including most notably N-terminal (Nt)-acetylation, a prevalent modification throughout the animal kingdom. However, the biological role and mechanism of actin Nt-acetylation are poorly understood, and the identity of actin’s N-terminal acetyltransferase (NAT) has remained a mystery. Here, we reveal that NAA80, a suggested NAT enzyme whose substrate specificity had not been characterized, is Nt-acetylating actin. We further show that actin Nt-acetylation plays crucial roles in cytoskeletal assembly in vitro and in cells. The absence of Nt-acetylation leads to significant differences in the rates of actin filament depolymerization and elongation, including elongation driven by formins, whereas filament nucleation by the Arp2/3 complex is mostly unaffected. NAA80-knockout cells display severely altered cytoskeletal organization, including an increase in the ratio of filamentous to globular actin, increased filopodia and lamellipodia formation, and accelerated cell motility. Together, the results demonstrate NAA80’s role as actin’s NAT and reveal a crucial role for actin Nt-acetylation in the control of cytoskeleton structure and dynamics.
