The Role of Histone Acetyltransferases in Normal and Malignant Hematopoiesis [PDF]
Histone or non-histone protein acetylation plays important roles in all kinds of cellular events, including the normal and abnormal development of blood cells, through changing the epigenetic status of chromatin and regulating non-histone protein’s ...

Posttranslational regulation of the GCN5 and PCAF acetyltransferases
General control nonderepressible 5 protein (Gcn5) and its homologs, including p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF), are lysine acetyltransferases that modify both histone and non-histone proteins using acetyl coenzyme A as a donor substrate.

HAC1 and HAF1 Histone Acetyltransferases Have Different Roles in UV-B Responses in Arabidopsis
Arabidopsis has 12 histone acetyltransferases grouped in four families: the GNAT/HAG, the MYST/HAM, the p300/CBP/HAC and the TAFII250/HAF families. We previously showed that ham1 and ham2 mutants accumulated higher damaged DNA after UV-B exposure than WT

Lysine Acetyltransferases and Their Role in AR Signaling and Prostate Cancer
The development and growth of a normal prostate gland, as well as its physiological functions, are regulated by the actions of androgens through androgen receptor (AR) signaling which drives multiple cellular processes including transcription, cellular ...

Plant Cell Wall Polysaccharide O-Acetyltransferases [PDF]
Plant cell walls are largely composed of polysaccharide polymers, including cellulose, hemicelluloses (xyloglucan, xylan, mannan, and mixed-linkage β-1,3/1,4-glucan), and pectins.

Roles of histone acetylation sites in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure
Heart failure results from various physiological and pathological stimuli that lead to cardiac hypertrophy. This pathological process is common in several cardiovascular diseases and ultimately leads to heart failure.

Acetyltransferases and tumour suppression [PDF]
The acetyltransferase p300 was first identified associated with the adenoviral transforming protein E1A, suggesting a potential role for p300 in the regulation of cell proliferation. Direct evidence demonstrating a role for p300 in human tumours was lacking until the recently publication by Gayther et al, which strongly supports a role for p300 as a ...

The BRCA2 is a histone acetyltransferase [PDF]
Patients carrying mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 tumor suppressor genes have shown to have high risk in developing breast and ovarian cancers. Two potential functions of BRCA2 were proposed which includes role in the regulation of transcription and also in DNA repair.
