KAT7 also known as Hbo1 KAT-7 MYST2 KAT-7 and Katset functions as a histone acetyltransferase specifically modifying histone H4 at lysine 12 5 and 8. With a molecular mass typically around 63 kDa KAT7 is expressed in nucleus and localizes to chromatin. It associates with chromatin during DNA replication and is vital in histone H4 acetylation facilitating chromatin remodeling and gene expression.
Biological function summary
This protein plays a significant role in transcription regulation and DNA replication. KAT7 is a component of the HBO1 complex working together with other proteins like JADE1/2/3 BRPF1/2/3 and ING4/5 making it integral to cell cycle progression and transcriptional activation. This complex is essential for initiating DNA replication as it acetylates histones and regulates chromatin accessibility necessary for DNA synthesis.
Pathways
KAT7/Hbo1/MYST2 is actively engaged in the transcriptional regulatory network and DNA replication pathways. It influences gene expression through its interaction with the transcriptional machinery and by modifying the chromatin structure. Within these pathways it interacts with proteins like BRPF1 and ING5 enhancing transcription and replication. This positions KAT7 as an important component in ensuring cellular growth and division through its histone acetylation activities.
Research indicates a link between KAT7 function and cancer. Its dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis related to its role in cell proliferation and gene expression. KAT7 affects the expression of oncogenes and interacts with proteins like p53. Altered KAT7 activity disrupts normal cellular processes and in cancer results in aberrant cell cycle regulation and uncontrolled cell proliferation highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in oncology.
