Purified yeast SWI/SNF complex binds DNA with high affinity, especially a synthetic four-way-junction DNA. which mimics the DNA structure at the entrance and exit sites of nucleosomes. SWI/SNF introduced positive supercoils on plasmid templates in the presence of bacterial topoisomerase I. Neither of these reactions are dependent on ATP but they may be part of the nucleosome remodeling mechanism.

Cell 1996, 84:843-851. The gene for a transcription-linked nuclear histone acetyltransferase, HAT A, was cloned from Tetrahymena. Surprisingly, this enzyme is highly homologous to a previously identified yeast transcriptional regulator, Gcn5p. Recombinant Gcn5p was shown to possess HAT A activity, suggesting that this protein regulates transcription by histone acetylation. This is the first example of a transcription factor possessing HAT activity.

A p300/CBP-sssociated factor, P/CAF, containing a region highly homologous to yeast Gcn5p was cloned from a human cDNA library. A human homolog of Gcn5, hGCNS, was also isolated. P/CAF and hGcn5 acetylated free histones H3 and H4 in vitro and histone H3 in nucleosomes. E1A disrupts the interaction between p300/CBP and P/CAF and overexpression of P/CAF inhibits cell-cycle progression of human cells.

101. Bannister AJ, Kouzarides T: The CBP co-activator is a histone acetyltransferase. Nature 1996, 384:641-643. Both studies show that the transcriptional co-activators p300 and CBP have HAT activity. Interestingly, neither p300 nor CBP contains homology to known acetyltransferases, suggesting a novel class of acetyltransferases. p300/CBP can acetylate all four core histories when free histones or nucleosomes are used as substrates.

Nat Genet 1996, 14:33-41. A cytogenetic hallmark of the M4/M5 subtype acute myeloid leukemia t(8;16) (p11;p13) was shown to produce a fusion protein between the CREB-binding protein CBP, a HAT and MOZ, a putative acetyltransferase. This may be an example of disease potentially linked to abnormal histone acetylation.

Cell 1996, 87:1261-1270. The TAFII250, the largest subunit of a human general transcription factor IID, was shown to possess a HAT activity. This data suggests that histone acetylation may play an integral role in the function of this general transcription factor.

Nature 1996, 380:316-322. Crystal structure of a complex of the amino-terminal regions of two Drosophila TAFs, dTAFII42 and dTAFII62, which have sequence similarity to the histone-fold motif. The crystal structure revealed that dTAFII42 and dTAFII62 form a heterotetramer resembling the (H3/H4)2 core of the histone octamer, suggesting that the TFIID complex contains a nucleosome-like substructure.
123. Kleff S, Andrulis ED, Anderson CW, Sternglanz R: Identification of a gene encoding a yeast histone H4 acetyltransferase. J Biol Chem 1995, 270:24674-24677. The cytoplasmic HAT gene HAT 1 was identified in yeast. HAT 1p was shown to acetylate lysine 12 in the histone H4 tail. That the hat 1 mutant exhibited a dramatic decrease in acetyltransferase activity on the histone H4 tail, showing HAT 1p is the biochemically dominant acetyltransferase for H4 in yeast cells.

The major cytoplasmic HAT was purified from yeast. This enzyme is composed of HAT1p, the HAT identified by Kleff et al. [123*] and HAT2p, a yeast homolog of RbAp48, a component of HD and chromatin assembly factor CAF-1. The consensus amino acid sequence of the acetylation site for the enzyme was determined to be GXGKXG (single letter amino acid code, where X is any amino acid).

The p48 subunit of CAF-I was identified to be RbAp48 [125]. p48 is also in the histone deacetylase HD1 complex in human cells [128*] and the HAT1 complex in yeast [124*]. p43 is a WD-40 repeat protein and can bind to histone H4 in the absence of the other subunits. All the subunits of CAF-1 were shown to be complexed with newly synthesized H3 and H4 to form CAC, the chromatin assembly complex. CAC was functional in a histone-depleted chromatin assembly reaction in vitro. 128. Tauton J, Hassig CA, Schreiber SL; A mammalian histone deacetylase related to the yeast transcriptional regulator Rpd3p. Science 1996, 272:408-411. A mammalian HD was isolated using a derivative of an HD inhibitor, trapoxin, as an affinity matrix. Purified HD is a heterodimer containing RbAp48, previously identified as a retinoblastoma-binding protein [125] and the catalytic subunit HD-1, homologous to a yeast transcriptional regulator, Rpd3.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1996, 93:14503-14508. Two HD complexes, HDA and HDB, were purified from yeast. HDA1p, a subunit of HDA activity, is similar to RPD3p, whereas HDB is associated with RPD3p itself. Mutations in HDA1 and RPD3 cause increased histone acetylation in vivo, as well as an increase in telomere repression.

A genetic screen for the enhancers of position effect variegation in Drosophila was used to identify a gene homologous to yeast RPD3 and human HD1. Deletion of RPD3 gene in yeast also resulted in enhancement of telomere position effect variegation, suggesting a conserved mechanism for heterochromatic repression in two systems.
