Abstract excerpt
KAT5 (S. pombe Mst1, human TIP60) is a MYST family histone acetyltransferase conserved from yeast to humans that is involved in multiple cellular activities. This family is characterized in part by containing a chromodomain, a motif associated with binding methylated histones. We show that a chromodomain mutation in the S. pombe Kat5, mst1-W66R, has defects in pericentromere silencing. mst1-W66R is sensitive to...
