additional information | Gcn5 and p300 appear to be constituitive HATs that do not require helper proteins to exhibit full catalytic activity. Esa1 and Rtt109 represent low-activity HATs that are stimulated by regulatory helper proteins, Yng2-Epl1 and Vps75/Asf1, respectively. p300/CBP exhibits the broadest protein specificity, p300 prefers histone acetylation sites with a positive charge in the -3 or +4 position.
