Abstract excerpt
CREBBP is among the most frequently mutated genes in human cancer and encodes a lysine acetyltransferase (KAT) protein that acetylates histones and nonhistone proteins to drive transcriptional activation. Mutations of CREBBP most frequently result in missense changes affecting the active site within the KAT domain. However, there has not yet been comprehensive biochemical, structural, and functional studies to...
