The role of lysine100 in the binding of acetylcoenzyme A to human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1: Implications for other acetyltransferases [PDF]

, 2015
The arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) catalyze the acetylation of aromatic and heterocyclic amines as well as hydrazines. All proteins in this family of enzymes utilize acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) as an acetyl donor, which initially binds to the enzyme

Regiospecific Acetylation of Xylan is Mediated by a Group of DUF231-Containing O-Acetyltransferases

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2017
Xylan is a major hemicellulose in the secondary walls of vessels and fibers, and its acetylation is essential for normal secondary wall assembly and properties.

MYC Binding Near Transcriptional End Sites Regulates Basal Gene Expression, Read‐Through Transcription, and Intragenic Contacts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MYC is a transcription factor (TF) that binds DNA near transcriptional start sites (TSSs) and within enhancer elements. Here, unappreciated sites of MYC binding in the vicinity of transcriptional end sites (TESs) of many genes in multiple cell types in association with numerous other TFs are described previously.

Functional antagonism between Sas3 and Gcn5 acetyltransferases and ISWI chromatin remodelers. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Chromatin-modifying enzymes and ATP-dependent remodeling complexes have been intensely studied individually, yet how these activities are coordinated to ensure essential cell functions such as transcription, replication, and repair of damage is not well ...

Meiotic sex chromosome cohesion and autosomal synapsis are supported by Esco2.

, 2020
In mitotic cells, establishment of sister chromatid cohesion requires acetylation of the cohesin subunit SMC3 (acSMC3) by ESCO1 and/or ESCO2. Meiotic cohesin plays additional but poorly understood roles in the formation of chromosome axial elements (AEs)

Enhancing Specificity, Precision, Accessibility, Flexibility, and Safety to Overcome Traditional CRISPR/Cas Editing Challenges and Shape Future Innovations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CRISPR/Cas9, while transformative, faces challenges in specificity, precision, delivery, accessibility, flexibility, and safety. This review addresses these limitations by highlighting strategies to reduce off‐target effects, exploring HDR‐based and alternative editing approaches, and evaluating advanced delivery mechanisms.

p300 and cAMP response element‐binding protein‐binding protein in skeletal muscle homeostasis, contractile function, and survival

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2020
Background Reversible ε‐amino acetylation of lysine residues regulates transcription as well as metabolic flux; however, roles for specific lysine acetyltransferases in skeletal muscle physiology and function are unknown.

Histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases in B- and T-cell development, physiology and malignancy

Genes & cancer, 2015
The development of B and T cells from hematopoietic precursors and the regulation of the functions of these immune cells are complex processes that involve highly regulated signaling pathways and transcriptional control.

Post‐Translational Modifications in Cilia and Ciliopathies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes current understanding of post‐translational modifications (PTMs) in ciliary proteins and emphasizes their roles in ciliary formation, homeostasis, and signaling. This review also discusses the implication of PTM dysregulation in ciliopathies and explores therapeutic strategies targeting PTM‐modifying enzymes.
