The metazoan acetyltransferase MOF (KAT8) regulates transcription through H4K16 acetylation. Antibody-based studies had yielded inconclusive results about the selectivity of MOF to acetylate the H4 N-terminus. We used targeted mass spectrometry to examine the activity of MOF in the male-specific lethal core (4-MSL) complex on nucleosome array substrates. This complex is part of the Dosage Compensation Complex (DCC) that activates X-chromosomal genes in male Drosophila. During short reaction times, MOF acetylated H4K16 efficiently and with excellent selectivity. Upon longer incubation, the enzyme progressively acetylated lysines 12, 8 and 5, leading to a mixture of oligo-acetylated H4. Mathematical modeling suggests that MOF recognizes and acetylates H4K16 with high selectivity, but remains substrate-bound and continues to acetylate more N-terminal H4 lysines in a processive manner. The 4-MSL complex lacks non-coding roX RNA, a critical component of the DCC. Remarkably, addition of RNA to the reaction non-specifically suppressed H4 oligo-acetylation in favor of specific H4K16 acetylation. Because RNA destabilizes the MSL-nucleosome interaction in vitro we speculate that RNA accelerates enzyme-substrate turn-over in vivo, thus limiting the processivity of MOF, thereby increasing specific H4K16 acetylation.}}, + creationdate = {2024-02-28T18:25:06}, + doi = {10.1093/nar/gkae123}, + eprint = {https://academic.oup.com/nar/advance-article-pdf/doi/10.1093/nar/gkae123/56756494/gkae123.pdf}, + modificationdate = {2024-02-28T18:25:06}, + url = {https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae123}, +} + @Comment{jabref-meta: databaseType:bibtex;} @Comment{jabref-meta: grouping: diff --git a/documentation/references.md b/documentation/references.md index 2164037aaf..63a4b97e31 100644 --- a/documentation/references.md +++ b/documentation/references.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # References -List of publications using AMICI.
