Function
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'.

Supplementary info
- Activity summary
The KAT8 protein also known as MYST1 or MOF functions as a histone acetyltransferase. It acetylates histone H4 at lysine 16 which is critical for chromatin structure and gene expression regulation. The molecular mass of KAT8 is approximately 55 kDa. This protein shows high expression in testis and is also present in other tissues. KAT8 is part of the MYST family of acetyltransferases sharing similarities with other MYST family proteins such as MOF protein.
- Biological function summary
KAT8 plays an essential role in gene transcription regulation by forming part of a complex known as the MSL (Male-Specific Lethal) complex. This complex ensures dosage compensation in Drosophila by adjusting gene expression levels. KAT8 is vital for the maintenance of chromatin structure influencing gene activation and silencing across various biological systems. It interacts with several co-factors during transcription regulation further highlighting its functional significance in the epigenetic landscape.
- Pathways
KAT8 engages in processes linked to chromatin modification and gene expression. Specifically it plays a significant role in the pathways of chromatin organization and transcriptional regulation by RNA polymerase II. The protein ENL participates in related pathways and interacts with KAT8 during transcription elongation. These interactions highlight KAT8's role in epigenetic regulation affecting multiple genes' transcription states.
- Associated diseases and disorders
KAT8 is associated with cancers and neurodevelopmental disorders. Aberrant expression or mutations in KAT8 have been observed in certain cancers making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention. In neurodevelopmental disorders changes in KAT8 acetyltransferase activity affect neuronal gene expression implicating it in disorders linked to cognitive deficits. Another protein TIP60 shows functional overlap with KAT8 in these conditions suggesting interconnected roles in disease pathogenesis.

ab217249 staining KAT8 / MYST1 / MOF in HepG2 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab217249 at 1/100 dilution (pseudocolored in red) and Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195887, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 488), at 1/250 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
