N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is a ubiquitous RNA modification incorporated by cytidine
acetyltransferase enzymes. Here, we report the biochemical characterization of
Thermococcus kodakarensis Nat10 (TkNat10), an RNA acetyltransferase involved in
archaeal thermotolerance. We demonstrate that TkNat10's catalytic activity is critical for T.
kodakarensis fitness at elevated temperatures. Unlike eukaryotic homologs, TkNat10
exhibits robust stand-alone activity, modifying diverse RNA substrates in a temperature,
ATP, and acetyl-CoA-dependent manner. Transcriptome-wide analysis reveals TkNat10
preferentially modifies unstructured RNAs containing a 5'-CCG-3' consensus sequence.
Using a high-throughput mutagenesis approach, we define sequence and structural
determinants of TkNat10 substrate recognition. We find TkNat10 can be engineered to use
non-native acyl-CoA donors, providing insight into its cofactor specificity. Finally, we
demonstrate TkNat10's utility for site-specific acetylation of RNA oligonucleotides, enabling
analysis of ac4C-dependent RNA-protein interactions. Our findings establish a framework
for understanding archaeal RNA acetylation and a new tool for studying the functional
consequences of ac4C in diverse RNA contexts.
