hMOF, a KAT(8) with many lives.
Dynamic lysine acetylation regulates proteins involved in diverse cellular processes, with individual enzymes often acetylating multiple substrates. Here, Li et al. (2009) show that the substrate specificity of hMOF/MYST1/KAT8 is controlled by differential interaction with two mutually exclusive partners.
