histone acetyltransferase of the CBP family 5;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary
Encodes an enzyme with histone acetyltransferase activity that can use both H3 and H4 histones as substrates. No single prior lysine acetylation is sufficient to block HAC5 acetylation of the H3 or H4 peptides, suggesting that HAC5 can acetylate any of several lysines present in the peptides. Di-acetylation of both lysines 9 and 14 on the H3 peptide significantly reduces the level of incorporated radioactive acetylation catalyzed by HAC5, indicating that HAC5 may acetylate either lysine 9 or lysine 14. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile.
