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).
