Histone lysine acetylation has emerged as a key regulator of genome organization. However, with a few exceptions, the contribution of each acetylated lysine to cellular functions is not well understood because of the limited specificity of most histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases. Here we show that the Mst2 complex in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is a highly specific H3 lysine 14 (H3K14) acetyltransferase that functions together with Gcn5 to regulate global levels of H3K14 acetylati ...[more]
