Abstract excerpt
Acetyltransferase enzymes target specific lysine residues in substrate proteins. While the list of histone and nonhistone substrates is growing, the mechanisms of substrate selection remain unclear. Here, we describe a mass spectrometric approach to examine the site selection of the acetyltransferase p300 in the HIV-1 protein Tat. Tat is acetylated by p300 at a single lysine (K50) within its basic RNA-binding...
