acetyl-CoA + [protein]-L-lysine = CoA + [protein]-N6-acetyl-L-lysine conserved catalytic mechanisms of HATs, overview. p300 utilizes a special type of sequential mechanism with a short-lived ternary complex, known as a Theorell-Chance mechanism Homo sapiens
acetyl-CoA + [protein]-L-lysine = CoA + [protein]-N6-acetyl-L-lysine conserved catalytic mechanisms of HATs, overview. p300 utilizes a special type of sequential mechanism with a short-lived ternary complex, known as a Theorell-Chance mechanism. For Gcn5, p/CAF, and p300, only 3 to 5 residues on either side of the substrate lysine are required for efficient binding and catalysis by the catalytic domain Saccharomyces cerevisiae
