Description

General description

Lysine acetyltransferase 8 (KAT8) or MYST histone acetyltransferase 1 (MYST1) is a signaling protein that belongs to the MYST family of histone acetyl transferases (HATs). MYST1 has a chromodomain that is involved in protein-protein interactions and targeting transcriptional regulators to the chromatin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lysine acetyltransferase 8 (KAT8) or MYST histone acetyltransferase 1 (MYST1) was originally isolated as a human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) TAT-interactive protein, which plays important roles in regulating chromatin remodeling, transcription and other nuclear processes by acetylating histone and non-histone proteins. MYST1 is also involved in ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) function. It acetylates histone 4-lysine 16 (H4K16). The protein is a modulator of embryonic stem cells and an epigenetic regulator. It has been associated with gastric carcinoma.
