The enzyme, 5h86, can be expressed in ''E. coli'' and is found in humans <ref name = "Structural basis for acyl-group discrimination by human Gcn5L2"/>. The characteristics of this 5h86 Human Gcn5 enzyme bound to butyrl-coA can be summarized in the table below. Clicking on each green linked element will convey important structural information of the enzyme.

Since this enzyme is found in ''Homo sapiens'', or humans, and is a Gcn5 bound to butyryl-CoA, the 5h86 enzyme has also been found to have a role in HIV-1 infections by being able to utilize the recruited viral protein "Tat" to regulate the activity that induces proviral gene chromatin remodeling <ref name = "Glucocorticoid-stimulated preadipocyte differentiation is mediated through acetylation of C/EBPβ by GCN5">doi: 10.1073/pnas.0607378104</ref><ref name = "The Double-Histone-Acetyltransferase Complex ATAC Is Essential for Mammalian Development">doi: 10.1128/MCB.01599-08</ref>.  
Since this enzyme is found in ''Homo sapiens'', or humans, and is a HAT Gcn5 bound to butyryl-CoA, the 5h86 enzyme has also been found to have a probable role in HIV-1 infections by being able to utilize the recruited viral protein "Tat" to regulate the activity that induces proviral gene chromatin remodeling <ref name = "Acetylation of the HIV-1 Tat protein by p300 is important for its transcriptional activity">PMID: 10607594</ref>. The Tat protein is responsible for the activation of the elongation stage of transcription by recruiting certain transcription factor complexes, like pTEFb, and coactivators like p300/CBP <ref name = "Acetylation of the HIV-1 Tat protein by p300 is important for its transcriptional activity"/>. Due to this correlation, the Tat protein may also have capabilities to promote HAT activity of the p300 coactivator which binds to the HIV-1 promoter region <ref name = "Acetylation of the HIV-1 Tat protein by p300 is important for its transcriptional activity"/>. Another similarity is that the HATs acetylate <scene name='80/806432/Lysine_residues/1'>lysine residues</scene> (Lys50 and Lys51), just like the 5h86 acetyltransferase <ref name = "Acetylation of the HIV-1 Tat protein by p300 is important for its transcriptional activity"/>. Due to this overall correlation, it is inferred that this 5h86 Gcn5 bound to butyryl-CoA may have a biochemical role in HIV-1 infections.
