Scientific Background: KAT8 (MYST1) or MYST histone acetyltransferase 1 is a signaling protein that belongs to the MYST family of histone acetyl transferases (HATs) and was originally isolated as an HIV-1 TAT-interactive protein which play important roles in regulating chromatin remodeling, transcription and other nuclear processes by acetylating histone and nonhistone proteins. MYST1 have a chromodomain that involved in protein-protein interactions and targeting transcriptional regulators to chromatin (1). MYST histone acetyltransferase 1 is also involved in ATM function (2).

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the MYST histone acetylase protein family. The encoded protein has a characteristic MYST domain containing an acetyl-CoA-binding site, a chromodomain typical of proteins which bind histones, and a C2HC-type zinc finger. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
Uniprot Description
Function: Histone acetyltransferase which may be involved in transcriptional activation. May influence the function of ATM. As part of the MSL complex it is involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 producing specifically H4K16ac. As part of the NSL complex it may be involved in acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 on several lysine residues. That activity is less specific than the one of the MSL complex. Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.17 Ref.19 Ref.21
Catalytic activity: Acetyl-CoA + [histone] = CoA + acetyl-[histone]. Ref.6 Ref.19 Ref.21
Subunit structure: Component of a multisubunit histone acetyltransferase complex (MSL) at least composed of the MOF/KAT8, MSL1/hampin, MSL2L1 and MSL3L1. Interacts with MSL1; the interaction is direct. Component of the NSL complex at least composed of MOF/KAT8, KANSL1, KANSL2, KANSL3, MCRS1, PHF20, OGT1/OGT, WDR5 and HCFC1. Interacts with KANSL1; the interaction is direct. Component of some MLL1/MLL complex, at least composed of the core components KMT2A/MLL1, ASH2L, HCFC1, WDR5 and RBBP5, as well as the facultative components BAP18, CHD8, E2F6, HSP70, INO80C, KANSL1, LAS1L, MAX, MCRS1, MGA, MOF/KAT8, PELP1, PHF20, PRP31, RING2, RUVB1/TIP49A, RUVB2/TIP49B, SENP3, TAF1, TAF4, TAF6, TAF7, TAF9 and TEX10. Interacts with the chromodomain of MORF4L1/MRG15. Interacts with ATM through the chromodomain. Interacts with KANSL1; the interaction is direct. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.14 Ref.17 Ref.18 Ref.19 Ref.21
Subcellular location: Nucleus. Chromosome
By similarity Ref.6 Ref.17.
Post-translational modification: Autoacetylation at Lys-274 is required for proper function.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the MYST (SAS/MOZ) family.Contains 1 C2HC-type zinc finger.Contains 1 chromo domain.
Sequence caution: The sequence AAL55762.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Probable cloning artifact.The sequence AAL56648.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at positions 23, 26 and 52.

The immunogen sequence is 2-467 with tag GST tag!!Expression System||Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus!!Source Note||Recombinant human KAT8 (2-467; contains the catalytic domain) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells. AAA Biotech's KAT8 (MYST1) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the KAT8 (MYST1) kat8 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "KAT8 (MYST1), Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
