Summary
CBP and p300 are large nuclear proteins that bind to many sequence-specific factors involved in cell growth and/or differentiation, including c-jun and the adenoviral oncoprotein E1A. The protein encoded by this gene associates with p300/CBP. It has in vitro and in vivo binding activity with CBP and p300, and competes with E1A for binding sites in p300/CBP. It has histone acetyl transferase activity with core histones and nucleosome core particles, indicating that this protein plays a direct role in transcriptional regulation.

Tat tat Acetylation of HIV-1 Tat by P/CAF at Lys28 and binding of P/CAF to Lys50 acetylated Tat regulates Tat binding to cyclin T1 and HIV-1 TAR RNA, as well as Tat-mediated transactivation of the HIV-1 LTR promoter, by allowing Tat to dissociate from TAR RNA PubMed
tat Acetylation of HIV-1 Tat by P/CAF at Lysine 28 enhances Tat binding to CDK9, indicating P/CAF may regulate Tat-mediated transactivation of the HIV-1 LTR PubMed

tat The K19A, K29R, and K41A mutations decrease HIV-1 Tat binding to PCAF, whereas the K12Q and K12R mutations increase the binding PubMed
tat HIV-1 Tat recruits P/CAF, as well as other known cellular acetyltransferases, to the HIV-1 LTR promoter, an effect involved in the acetylation of histones H3 and H4, and HIV-1 transcriptional activation PubMed
tat HIV-1 Tat interaction with P/CAF and other histone acetyl transferases is preferentially important for Tat-mediated transactivation of integrated, but not unintegrated, HIV-1 LTR promoter PubMed
tat HIV-1 Tat forms a ternary complex with p300 and P/CAF PubMed
tat HIV-1 Tat synergizes with P/CAF to activate the HIV-1 LTR promoter PubMed
tat Association of tumor protein p73 with HIV-1 Tat prevents the acetylation of Tat on lysine 28 by PCAF PubMed
tat Binding of HIV-1 Tat to P/CAF inhibits acetylation of p53 on Lysine320 leading to repression of p53-mediated promoter transactivation, suggesting a mechanism whereby Tat may impair tumor suppressor functions and favor neoplasia establishment during AIDS PubMed
tat The bromodomain (amino acids 712-832) of P/CAF mediates its binding to amino acids 20-40 of non-acetylated HIV-1 Tat, to amino acids 48-57 in the arginine rich motif of Lys50 acetylated Tat, while Lys28 acetylation of Tat abrogates P/CAF binding to Tat PubMed
tat HIV-1 Tat inhibits the transcriptional activation activity of P/CAF PubMed

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
