DESCRIPTION

Also known as KAT8_HUMAN, KAT8, MOF, MYST1. Histone acetyltransferase which may be involved in transcriptional activation (PubMed:12397079, PubMed:22020126). May influence the function of ATM (PubMed:15923642). As part of the MSL complex it is involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 producing specifically H4K16ac (PubMed:16227571, PubMed:16543150, PubMed:21217699, PubMed:22547026, PubMed:22020126). As part of the NSL complex it may be involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 on several lysine residues (PubMed:20018852, PubMed:22547026). That activity is less specific than the one of the MSL complex (PubMed:20018852, PubMed:22547026). Can also acetylate TP53/p53 at 'Lys-120'. Component of a multisubunit histone acetyltransferase complex (MSL) at least composed of the MOF/KAT8, MSL1/hampin, MSL2L1 and MSL3L1 (PubMed:16227571, PubMed:16543150). Interacts with MSL1; the interaction is direct (PubMed:21217699, PubMed:22547026). Component of the NSL complex at least composed of MOF/KAT8, KANSL1, KANSL2, KANSL3, MCRS1, PHF20, OGT1/OGT, WDR5 and HCFC1 (PubMed:16543150, PubMed:20018852). Component of some MLL1/MLL complex, at least composed of the core components KMT2A/MLL1, ASH2L, HCFC1, WDR5 and RBBP5, as well as the facultative components BAP18, CHD8, E2F6, HSP70, INO80C, KANSL1, LAS1L, MAX, MCRS1, MGA, MOF/KAT8, PELP1, PHF20, PRP31, RING2, RUVB1/TIP49A, RUVB2/TIP49B, SENP3, TAF1, TAF4, TAF6, TAF7, TAF9 and TEX10 (PubMed:15960975). Interacts with the chromodomain of MORF4L1/MRG15 (PubMed:12397079). Interacts with ATM through the chromodomain (PubMed:15923642). Interacts with KANSL1; the interaction is direct (PubMed:16543150, PubMed:20620954, PubMed:21217699, PubMed:22547026). Interacts with MSL3 (PubMed:21217699, PubMed:22547026, PubMed:30224647). Interacts with NELFD (By similarity).
