| Function |
May be involved in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. May have a role in X inactivation. Component of the MSL complex which is responsible for the majority of histone H4 acetylation at 'Lys-16' which is implicated in the formation of higher-order chromatin structure. Specifically recognizes histone H4 monomethylated at 'Lys-20' (H4K20Me1) in a DNA-dependent manner and is proposed to be involved in chromosomal targeting of the MSL complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16227571, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20018852, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20657587, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20943666, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21217699, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22547026}.
