After several years of serving the research community, our ActiveDriverDB database will be retired on May 1st 2026. Please make sure to download any data you need and update your links or workflows before that date.

We want to sincerely thank all our users for their support, feedback, and collaboration over the years — your contributions have been invaluable to this project. A special thank you to Dr. Michal Krassowski for leading the development of our open-source software and database.

For any questions or assistance, please contact Jüri Reimand (juri.reimand@utoronto.ca).

Mutation dataset

This option allows you to select the source of mutation data, which in turn also allows you to select different mutation subsets in the respective submenu (appears once you select the dataset source).

Cancer (TCGA PanCancerAtlas): this exome sequencing dataset allows you to select mutations based on the cancer type in which the mutation was detected. To select specific cancer type(s), de-select “All cancer types”, and then select the cancer type(s) you are interested in – multiple selection can be made.

Clinical (ClinVar): this dataset allows you to select mutations based on their clinical and pathological significance, and disease in which that clinical significance was detected in based on data on the ClinVar database. Selection this option will provide you with two submenus: “Clinical significance” and “Disease name”. To select a specific clinical significance and/or disease, de-select that “All clinical significance” and/or “All disease names” prior to making you selection(s).

Population (ESP6500): this dataset allows you to selected mutations reported in either European American or African American individuals based on exome sequencing of thousands of individuals.

Population (1000 Genomes): Similar to ESP 6500, this genome sequencing dataset allows you to select mutations reported in specific ethnic backgrounds. To select specific ethnic background(s), de-select “All ethnicities” prior to making your selection(s).

Circle: kinases interacting with your protein of interest (centre of the figure) via the specific PTM site as indicated in the network diagram. The colour of the kinase is shaded based on the number of mutations occurring in that kinase.

Octagon: kinase families interacting with your protein of interest (centre of the figure) via the specific PTM site as indicated in the network diagram. The colour of the kinase is shaded based on the number of mutations occurring in that kinase.

Loss of interaction predicted

Presence of a connecting line between a mutation and kinase denotes the existence of an interaction at this amino acid location. A dashed red line however denotes that the specific mutation causes a loss of interaction.

PTM Interaction Network Visualisation

The PTM Interaction Network provides visualization of all PTMs which mediate an interaction between your protein of interest and protein kinases. Each PTM is visualized as a different colour box listing the mutation location and the surrounding amino acid sequence. These PTMs originate from your protein of interest (circle with a dark border) which links it to a kinase (circle with thick border). The colour of the circles corresponds to the number of mutations occurring in the kinase with white being none, and dark blue being a normalized maximum. See figure legend for additional details.

Zooming in/out
If there is a specific PTM you are interested in, you can click on it to zoom onto it and the kinases it has been associated with. Alternatively you can click the magnifying glass icons on the top right of the PTM Interaction Network Visualisation window.

Saving the image
The Interaction Network image can be saved in an SVG or PDF formats by clicking on the “Save image as” button on the top right of the PTM Interaction Network Visualization window.

Protein summary

The protein summary provides brief information regarding your protein, namely: its full name, a brief description of its function, and genomic location of the coding gene.

This is preferred isoform of NAT8L protein.

NAT8L: N-acetylaspartate synthetase

Description:

This gene encodes a single-pass membrane protein, which contains a conserved sequence of the GCN5 or NAT superfamily of N-acetyltransferases and is a member of the N-acyltransferase (NAT) superfamily. This protein is a neuron-specific protein and is the N-acetylaspartate (NAA) biosynthetic enzyme, catalyzing the NAA synthesis from L-aspartate and acetyl-CoA. NAA is a major storage and transport form of acetyl coenzyme A specific to the nervous system. The gene mutation results in primary NAA deficiency (hypoacetylaspartia). [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly.

Publication Note:
This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene. Please see the Gene record to access additional publications.
