Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2025Title: Mechanistic insights into histone recognition and H3K14 acetylation by the NuA3 histone acetyltransferase complex. Authors: Wenping Shi / Lixia Zhao / Yiru Wang / Yi Zhang / Simiao Liu / Yannan Wang / Roger D Kornberg / Heqiao Zhang / ![]() Abstract: The NuA3 histone acetyltransferase complex in budding yeast, composed of six subunits, specifically acetylates lysine 14 on histone H3 (H3K14), thereby regulating various biological processes. ...The NuA3 histone acetyltransferase complex in budding yeast, composed of six subunits, specifically acetylates lysine 14 on histone H3 (H3K14), thereby regulating various biological processes. Despite its importance, the structural basis and mechanism underlying histone tail recognition and substrate specificity of the NuA3 complex have remained elusive. Here we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of the NuA3 complex in its apo form, bound to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), and in a complex with both the histone H3 tail and acetyl-CoA. Our structure shows that the histone tail-binding cleft of NuA3 is formed cooperatively by two subunits, the catalytic subunit Sas3 and the non-catalytic subunit Nto1. A hydrophobic part of the cleft engages the region preceding H3K14 (residues 9-12), while a network of polar interactions between the cleft and the backbone of H3 residues 12-15, particularly involving Gly13, contributes to substrate specificity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
