Description : (at3g54610 : 130.0) Encodes a histone acetyltransferase that is plays a role in the determination of the embryonic root-shoot axis. It is also required to regulate the floral meristem activity by modulating the extent of expression of WUS and AG. In other eukaryotes, this protein is recruited to specific promoters by DNA binding transcription factors and is thought to promote transcription by acetylating the N-terminal tail of histone H3. The enzyme has indeed been shown to catalyse primarily the acetylation of H3 histone with only traces of H4 and H2A/B being acetylated. Non-acetylated H3 peptide or an H3 peptide that had been previously acetylated on K9 both serve as excellent substrates for HAG1-catalyzed acetylation. However, prior acetylation of H3 lysine 14 blocks radioactive acetylation of the peptide by HAG1. HAG1 is specific for histone H3 lysine 14.; histone acetyltransferase of the GNAT family 1 (HAG1); FUNCTIONS IN: histone acetyltransferase activity, DNA binding, H3 histone acetyltransferase activity; INVOLVED IN: flower development, histone acetylation, response to light stimulus, positive regulation of transcription, root morphogenesis; LOCATED IN: histone acetyltransferase complex, nucleus; EXPRESSED IN: 9 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 4 anthesis, petal differentiation and expansion stage, E expanded cotyledon stage; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase, C-terminal (InterPro:IPR022610), GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase (InterPro:IPR000182), Bromodomain, conserved site (InterPro:IPR018359), Acyl-CoA N-acyltransferase (InterPro:IPR016181), Bromodomain (InterPro:IPR001487); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: nuclear protein X1 (TAIR:AT5G63320.1); Has 13698 Blast hits to 5805 proteins in 367 species: Archae - 4; Bacteria - 1437; Metazoa - 4852; Fungi - 1484; Plants - 516; Viruses - 1; Other Eukaryotes - 5404 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 260.0) & (original description: no original description)
