The ATAC acetyl transferase complex controls mitotic progression by targeting non-histone substrates

inhibition of the p300 histone acetyl transferase by 3-(2h) isothiazolones and analogous oxazolidinone derivatives

SAGA and ATAC histone acetyl transferase complexes regulate distinct sets of genes and ATAC defines a class of p300-independent enhancers.

Histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes are coactivators that are important for transcriptional activation by modifying chromatin. Metazoan SAGA and ATAC are distinct multisubunits complexes that share the same catalytic HAT subunit (GCN5 or PCAF). Here, we show that these human HAT complexes are targeted to different genomic loci representing functionally distinct regulatory elements both at...

Physical association between the histone acetyl transferase CBP and a histone methyl transferase.

CBP (CREB-binding protein) is involved in transcriptional activation by a great variety of sequence-specific transcription factors. CBP has been shown to activate transcription through its histone acetyl transferase activity. Acetylation is a common post-translational modification of nucleosomal histone N-terminal tails, which generally correlates with transcriptional activation. Histone N-term...

Targeting the Histone Acetyl-Transferase, RTT109, for Novel Anti-Fungal Drug Development: A Dissertation

Discovery of new antifungal chemo-therapeutics for humans is limited by the large degree of conservation among eukaryotic organisms. In recent years, the histone acetyl-transferase Rtt109 was identified as the sole enzyme responsible for an abundant and important histone modification, histone H3 lysine 56 (H3K56) acetylation. In the absence of Rtt109, the lack of acetylated H3K56 renders yeast ...

Cell cycle-dependent chromatin shuttling of HBO1–JADE1 histone acetyl transferase (HAT) complex

HAT HBO1 interacts with 2 isoforms of JADE1: JADE1S and JADE1L. JADE1 promotes acetylation of nucleosomal histones by HBO1. HBO1-JADE1 complex facilitates cell proliferation by unclear mechanisms. Here we report intracellular chromatin shuttling of HBO1-JADE1 complex during mitosis coupled to phosphorylation of JADE1. In interphase of dividing cells JADE1S was localized to the nucleus and assoc...
