The BRCA2 is a histone acetyltransferase [PDF]
Oncogene, 1998 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.

The role of p300 histone acetyltransferase in UV-induced histone modifications and MMP-1 gene transcription. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 promotes ultraviolet (UV)-triggered long-term detrimental effects such as cancer formation and premature skin aging. Although histone modifications may play a crucial role in the transcriptional regulation of MMP-1, the ...

Histone chaperone exploits intrinsic disorder to switch acetylation specificity
Nature Communications, 2019 Histone chaperones have been shown to control the activity and specificity of histone-modifying enzymes. Here the authors establish a structural model of the acetyltransferase Rtt109 in complex with Asf1 and Vps75 and the histone dimer H3:H4, finding ...

Structure and function of histone acetyltransferase MOF
AIMS Biophysics, 2015 MOF was first identified in Drosophila melanogaster as an important component of the dosage compensation complex. As a member of MYST family of histone acetyltransferase, MOF specifically deposits the acetyl groups to histone H4 lysine 16.

The replacement histone H2A.Z in a hyperacetylated form is a feature of active genes in the chicken [PDF]
, 2005 The replacement histone H2A.Z is variously reported as being linked to gene expression and preventing the spread of heterochromatin in yeast, or concentrated at heterochromatin in mammals.

Lysine acetyltransferase 5 in EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer [PDF]
, 2018 Histone modifications are crucial in activities such as transcriptional activation, gene silencing, and epigenetic cellular memory. In particular, lysine acetylation via lysine (K) acetyltransferases (KATs) has been implicated in cancer development ...
