| Description | The only essential histone acetyltransferase complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, NuA4, acetylates the N-terminal tails of histones H4 and H2A. Experimental analyses have revealed at least two functionally distinct polypeptide groups in NuA4: Vid21/Yng2 and Eaf5/Eaf7. While the former are required for bulk histone H4 acetylation and are functionally linked to the histone H2A variant Htz1 and the Swr1 ATPase complex (SWR-C) that assembles Htz1 into chromatin, Eaf5 and Eaf7 have an, as yet, undefined role. It is thought that a NuA4/SWR-C/Htz1 pathway may regulate both transcription and centromere function in S.cerevisiae [ ]. |
