Structural highlights
Function
YNG1_YEAST Histone-binding component of the NuA3 histone acetyltransferase complex, that acetylates Lys-14 of histone H3. Recruitment of NuA3 to nucleosomes requires methylated histone H3. In conjunction with the FACT complex, NuA3 may be involved in transcriptional regulation. YNG1 is required for the HAT activity of NuA3 but not for its integrity. Mediates the interaction of SAS3 with nucleosomes.[1] [2]
