=Histone Acetyltransferase Hpa2=


Hpa2 is a member of the GNAT (Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferases) super-family of enzymes that are found spread out across nature and use acyl-CoA's to acylate their cognate substrates<ref>"Histone Acetyltransferase HPA2 from Saccharomyces Cerevisiae." Protein Data Bank. EMDataBank, n.d. Web. 17 Nov. 2013.[http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=1QSO RCSB.org]</ref>. Histone Acetyltransferase Hpa2 is found in the organism Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, which is more commonly known as Baker's Yeast. In vitro, Hpa2 serves to acetylate histone H3 'Lys-4' and 'Lys-14' and histone H4 'Lys-5' and 'Lys-12.' In solution, Hpa2 forms a dimer, and upon binding with AcCoA forms a tetramer. It is classified as a transferase.<ref>Angus-Hill, et al. "Crystal Structure of the Histone Acetyltransferase Hpa2: a Tetrameric Member of the Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase Superfamily." J. Mol. Biol. 1999.3338 (1999): 1-14. Web. 18 Nov. 2013.</ref>
