TLDR
Results indicate that recruitment of histone acetyltransferase activity of PCAF by MyoD, through p300/CBP, is crucial for activation of the myogenic program.

The coregulator exchange in transcriptional functions of nuclear receptors

TL;DR: Based on their importance in biology and medicine, as well as the relatively simple mechanism of regulation, NR represent one of the most intensively studied and best-understood classes of transcription factors at the molecular level.

Helix-loop-helix proteins: regulators of transcription in eucaryotic organisms.

TL;DR: The helix-loop-helix (HLH) family of transcriptional regulatory proteins are key players in a wide array of developmental processes, including neurogenesis, myogenesis, hematopoiesis, and pancreatic development and the structure and functional properties are examined.

CBP/p300 in cell growth, transformation, and development

TL;DR: This review focuses on the involvement of CBP/p300 in the complex biological processes that affect cell growth, transformation, and development.

Structure and ligand of a histone acetyltransferase bromodomain

TL;DR: The solution structure of the bromodomain of the HAT co-activator P/CAF (p300/CBP-associated factor) reveals an unusual left-handed up-and-down four-helix bundle, and it is shown by a combination of structural and site-directed mutagenesis studies that bromidomains can interact specifically with acetylated lysine, making them the first known protein modules to do so.

WAF1, a potential mediator of p53 tumor suppression

TL;DR: A gene is identified, named WAF1, whose induction was associated with wild-type but not mutant p53 gene expression in a human brain tumor cell line and that could be an important mediator of p53-dependent tumor growth suppression.

The Transcriptional Coactivators p300 and CBP Are Histone Acetyltransferases

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that p300/CBP acetylates nucleosomes in concert with PCAF, a novel class of acetyltransferases in that it does not have the conserved motif found among various other acetyl transferases.

Activation of p53 Sequence-Specific DNA Binding by Acetylation of the p53 C-Terminal Domain

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that p53 can be modified by acetylated both in vivo and in vitro, indicating a novel pathway for p53 activation and providing an example of an acetylation-mediated change in the function of a nonhistone regulatory protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

The CBP co-activator is a histone acetyltransferase

TL;DR: It is shown that CBP has intrinsic HAT activity, and Targeting CBP-associated H AT activity to specific promoters may be a mechanism by which E1A acts as a transcriptional activator.

MyoD or Myf-5 is required for the formation of skeletal muscle

TL;DR: Observations suggest that either Myf-5 or MyoD is required for the determination of skeletal myoblasts, their propagation, or both during embryonic development and indicate that these factors play, at least in part, functionally redundant roles in myogenesis.
