KAT3B (also known as EP300) encodes the adenovirus E1A-associated cellular p300 transcriptional co-activator protein that functions as a histone acetyltransferase. KAT3B regulates transcription via chromatin remodeling and is important in the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation. KAT3B binding is a highly accurate process and can be used for identifying enhancers and their associated activities. KAT3B is also useful in the study of the role of tissue-specific enhancers in human biology and diseases on a genome wide scale. Defects in KAT3B gene are a cause of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome that play a important role in epithelial cancer and act as a classic tumor suppressor gene.
A major yet unresolved quest in decoding the human genome is the identification of the regulatory sequences that control the spatial and temporal expression of genes. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers are particularly challenging to uncover because they are scattered among the
The EP300 protein is a histone acetyltransferase that regulates transcription via chromatin remodelling and is important in the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation. EP300 acetylation of TP53 in response to DNA damage regulates its DNA-binding and transcription functions. A
