Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor activation promotes ADA3 acetylation through the AKT-p300 pathway.

ABSTRACT: The ADA3 (Alteration/Deficiency in Activation 3) protein is an essential adaptor component of several Lysine Acetyltransferase (KAT) complexes involved in chromatin modifications. Previously, we and others have demonstrated a crucial role of ADA3 in cell cycle progression and in maintenance of genomic stability. Recently, we have shown that acetylation of ADA3 is key to its role in cell cycle progression. Here, we demonstrate that AKT activation downstream of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) family proteins stimulation leads to phosphorylation of p300, which in turn promotes the acetylation of ADA3. Inhibition of upstream receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), HER1 (EGFR)/HER2 by lapatinib and the accompanying reduction of phospho-AKT levels led to a decrease in p300 phosphorylation and
