Function | Functions as a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) to promote transcriptional activation. Acetylation of histones gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcription activation. Has significant histone acetyltransferase activity with core histones, but not with nucleosome core particles. In case of HIV-1 infection, it is recruited by the viral protein Tat. Regulates Tat's transactivating activity and may help inducing chromatin remodeling of proviral genes. Component of the ATAC complex, a complex with histone acetyltransferase activity on histones H3 and H4. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19103755}. |
Subcellular Location | Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11564863}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in all tissues tested, with most abundant expression in ovary. |
Top Pathways | Notch signaling pathway, HTLV-I infection, Viral carcinogenesis |
