Modulation of the activity of histone acetyltransferases by long chain alkylidenemalonates (LoCAMs)

open access: yesBioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry, 2011
A novel class of KAT modulators (long chain alkylidenemalonates, LoCAMs) has been identified. Variations of the alkyl chain length can change the activity profile from inhibition of both KAT3A/KAT2B (as derivative 2a) to the peculiar profile of ...

Regulation of Histone Acetyltransferases p300 and PCAF by the bHLH Protein Twist and Adenoviral Oncoprotein E1A

open access: yesCell, 1999
Histone acetyltransferases (HAT) play a critical role in transcriptional control by relieving repressive effects of chromatin, and yet how HATs themselves are regulated remains largely unknown.

N-terminal acetylation and other functions of Nα-acetyltransferases

open access: yesBiological Chemistry, 2012
Protein N-terminal acetylation by N-alpha-acetyltransferases (NATs) is an omnipresent protein modification that affects a large number of proteins. The exact biological role of N-terminal acetylation has, however, remained enigmatic for the overall ...

Histone Acetyltransferases

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2001
▪ Abstract  Transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes occurs within a chromatin setting and is strongly influenced by nucleosomal barriers imposed by histone proteins. Among the well-known covalent modifications of histones, the reversible acetylation of internal lysine residues in histone amino-terminal domains has long been positively linked to ...

Choline acetyltransferase and carnitine acetyltransferase in the placenta of the mouse

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1977
Abstract 1. The major 1-14C-acetyl labelled metabolite as identified by high voltage electrophoresis and thin layer chromatography was 1-14C-acetylcarnitine when crude or dialyzed mouse placenta homogenates were incubated in the absence or presence of exogenous 1-carnitine respectively and with 1-14C-acetylcoenzyme A. 2.

Epigenetic Modulation Using Small Molecules - Targeting Histone Acetyltransferases in Disease

open access: yesCurrent Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) are epigenetic drivers that catalyze the acetyl transfer from acetyl-CoA to lysines of both histone and non-histone substrates and thereby induce transcription either by chromatin remodeling or direct transcription ...

A snapshot of carnitine acetyltransferase

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2003
Carnitine acetyltransferase (CrAT) is part of the carnitine system that protects the acylation state of the pools of acetyl-coenzyme A, a key metabolic intermediate, by transferring excess acetate and other short-chain acyl groups to and from carnitine. The homology of CrAT with other carnitine acyltransferases, such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase I

Acetyltransferases and susceptibility to chemicals

Toxicology Letters, 1992
Arylamine chemicals inflict a number of toxicities including cancer. Metabolic activation (i.e., oxidation) is required in order to elicit the toxic actions. Acetylation is an important step in the metabolic activation and deactivation of arylamines. N-acetylation forms the amide derivative which is often nontoxic.

The phosphorylation of choline acetyltransferase

Neurochemical Research, 1989
Human placental Choline Acetyltransferase (ChAT) has been shown to be phosphorylated in vitro by kinases present in rat brain. Phosphorylation occurs at a single site with the exclusive phosphoamino acid being serine. ChAT phosphorylation was shown to be calcium, and not cyclic nucleotide, dependent and was inhibited by inhibitors of calcium/calmodulin

Choline Acetyltransferase

CRC Critical Reviews in Biochemistry, 1977
Acetylcholine is essential to neural function. It synthesis is catalyzed by choline acetyltransferase, the enzyme responsible for the acetylation of choline by acetyl coenzye A, a reaction favored slightly thermodymodynamically and not at all kinetically. An analytically pure enzyme still has not been obtained; however, method of purification have been
