General description

Lysine acetyltransferase 8 (KAT8) or MYST histone acetyltransferase 1 (MYST1) is a signaling protein that belongs to the MYST family of histone acetyl transferases (HATs). MYST1 has a chromodomain that is involved in protein-protein interactions and targeting transcriptional regulators to the chromatin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lysine acetyltransferase 8 (KAT8) or MYST histone acetyltransferase 1 (MYST1) was originally isolated as a human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) TAT-interactive protein, which plays important roles in regulating chromatin remodeling, transcription and other nuclear processes by acetylating histone and non-histone proteins. MYST1 is also involved in ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) function. It acetylates histone 4-lysine 16 (H4K16). The protein is a modulator of embryonic stem cells and an epigenetic regulator. It has been associated with gastric carcinoma.

We have identified a novel human gene product, hMOF, which exhibits significant similarity to the Drosophila dosage compensation regulator, MOF. A recombinant C-terminal portion of hMOF has histone acetyltransferase activity directed toward histones H3, H2A and H4, a specificity characteristic
Arun Gupta et al.
Molecular and cellular biology, 25(12), 5292-5305 (2005-06-01)
We have determined that hMOF, the human ortholog of the Drosophila MOF gene (males absent on the first), encoding a protein with histone acetyltransferase activity, interacts with the ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated) protein. Cellular exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) enhances hMOF-dependent acetylation
