Reaction: acetyl-CoA + ribosomal-protein L-alanine = CoA + ribosomal-protein N-acetyl-L-alanine
Other name(s): ribosomal protein S18 acetyltransferase
Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:ribosomal-protein-L-alanine N-acetyltransferase
Comments: A group of enzymes in Escherichia coli that acetylate the N-terminal alanine residues of specific ribosomal proteins. cf. EC 2.3.1.88, peptide α-N-acetyltransferase.
