Piccolo NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Histone acetyltransferase complex which is involved in transcriptional activation of selected genes, principally by acetylation of nucleosomal histone H4 and H2A. Strongly prefers chromatin over free histones as substrate. Also acts as the catalytic core of the 1.3-MDa NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex (CPX-3155).
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
