| Short Name | KAT8 |
| description | Histone acetyltransferase KAT8 () has activity directed towards histones H3, H2A and H4 []and is the active component of the MSL and NSL complexes []. KAT8 autoacetylates itself on Lys-274 which is a requirement for binding to histone H4 []. In Drosophila melanogaster this protein is known as 'males-absent on the first protein' (MOF) [].The male-specific lethal (MSL) complex is a histone acetyltransferase with specificity for histone H4 'lysine-16' in chromatin. The complex consists of MOF, MSL1, MSL2, and MSL3 []. The complex was first identified in Drosophila. |
