IPR002717

Description

IPR002717 is a Histone acetyltransferase domain, MYST-type.

<p>Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) fall into at least four different families based on sequence conservation within the HAT domain [[cite:PUB00074632]]. The MYST family is the largest family of HATs and is named after the founding members: MOZ, Ybf2/ Sas3, Sas2 and Tip60. MYST proteins mediate many biological functions including gene regulation, DNA repair, cell-cycle regulation and development [[cite:PUB00074636]] and have been shown to acetylate several non-histone substrates [[cite:PUB00074637]]. MYST proteins are autoregulated by posttranslational modifications [[cite:PUB00059116]].</p> <p>The MYST-type HAT domain contains three regions: a central region associated with acetyl-CoA cofactor binding and catalysis in addition to flanking N- and C-terminal regions harboring respectively a C2HC-type zinc finger and a helix- turn-helix DNA-binding motif. The N- and C-terminal segments directly flanking the catalytic core are likely to play an important role in histone substrate binding [[cite:PUB00021631], [cite:PUB00049312]]. The catalytic mechanism for the MYST-type HAT domain is still unresolved but seems to involve a conserved glutamate that functions to abstract a proton from lysine to promote the nucleophilic attack on the acetyl carbonyl carbon of acetyl-CoA [[cite:PUB00021631], [cite:PUB00074823], [cite:PUB00059116], [cite:PUB00074824]].</p>
