High impact information on Tip60

  • These findings provide evidence for a gene dosage-dependent interaction between the esc/E(z) complex and the Tip60 histone acetyltransferase complex [1].
  • Additionally, in Drosophila, Tip60 exchanges gamma-H2AX for unmodified H2A in regions of DNA damage [2].
  • Acetylation by Tip60 is required for selective histone variant exchange at DNA lesions [3].
