Based on their sequences, theSaccharomyces cerevisiaeHpa2 and Hpa3 proteins are annotated as two closely related members of the Gcn5 acetyltransferase family. Here, we describe the biochemical characterization of Hpa2 and Hpa3 asbona fideacetyltransferases with different substrate specificities. Mutational and MALDI-TOF analyses showed that Hpa3 translation initiates primarily from Met-19 rather than the annotated start site, Met-1, with a minor product starting at Met-27. When expressed inEscherichia coliand assayedin vitro, Hpa2 and Hpa3 (from Met-19) acetylated histones and polyamines. Whereas Hpa2 acetylated histones H3 and H4 (at H3 Lys-14, H4 Lys-5, and H4 Lys-12), Hpa3 acetylated only histone H4 (at Lys-8). Additionally, Hpa2, but not Hpa3, acetylated certain small basic proteins. Hpa3, but not Hpa2, has been reported to acetylated-amino acids, and we present results consistent with that. Overexpression of Hpa2 or Hpa3 is toxic to yeast cells. However, their deletions do not show any standard phenotypic defects. These results suggest that Hpa2 and Hpa3 are similar but distinct acetyltransferases that might have overlapping roles with other known acetyltransferasesin vivoin acetylating histones and other small proteins.Background: Based on their sequences, the closely related yeast Hpa2 and Hpa3 proteins appear to be acetyltransferases.Results: Hpa2 and Hpa3 acetylate histones, polyamines, and some small basic proteins.Conclusion: Although Hpa2 and Hpa3 are very similar in sequence, they have somewhat different substrate preferences.Significance: This is the first biochemical characterization of these two acetyltransferases.
