Protein
Histone acetyltransferase mst2
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Function
Component of the mst2 complex which is a highly specific H3 lysine 14 (H3K14) acetyltransferase that functions together with gcn5 to regulate global levels of H3K14 acetylation (H3K14ac), critical for DNA damage checkpoint activation. Negatively regulates telomere silencing. Telomere silencing is increased due to histone hypoacetylation and/or an increase in the ratio of methylated histones to acetylated histones. Telomeric histone acetylation contributes to normal meiotic progression.
Similarity
Belongs to the MYST (SAS/MOZ) family.
