Negative regulator of centrosome duplication. Constrains centriole number by modulating the degradation of the centrosome-duplication-associated protein SASS6 in an acetylation-dependent manner. SIRT1 deacetylates CENATAC in G1 phase, allowing for SASS6 accumulation on the centrosome and subsequent procentriole assembly. The CENATAC acetylation level is restored in mitosis by NAT10, promoting SASS6 proteasome degradation by facilitating SASS6 binding to APC/C E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex/FZR1. Interacts with SASS6; the interaction increases with CENATAC acetylation. Acetylated. Acetylation oscillates throughout the cell cycle, and the acetylation state at Lys-31 is regulated by the deacetylase SIRT1 and the acetyltransferase NAT10. Deacetylated CENATAC is responsible for its centrosome targeting, and acetylated CENATAC promotes SASS6 degradation by enhancing the binding affinity of SASS6 for APC/C E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex/FZR1. Extended N-terminus.
