Regulation of p300 acetyltransferase activity by the TAZ2 domain [RNA-seq]
The E1A binding protein P300 (EP300, also known as p300, lysine acetyltransferase 3B or KAT3B) and its close paralogue CREB-binding protein (CREBBP, aka CBP or KAT3A) possess intrinsic histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity that can act on both histone and non-histone proteins. P300 and CBP are composed of multiple conserved protein domains, many of which are in proximity to the HAT domain modulating its catalytic activity.  Here we show that the TAZ2 domain regulates the intrinsic catalytic activity of p300 in vitro and histone acetylation and chromatin accessibility in cells. Our study extends the knowledge of p300 self-regulation and provides new therapeutic stratagies for human cancers with corresponding p300/CBP mutations. Overall design: RNA profiles after p300 TAZ2 or HAT truncations and HDAC inhibitor treatment
