Abstract

Nascent histone H4 is acetylated by cytoplasmic histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1) and then de-acetylated after chromatin insertion, releasing free acetate. Gruber et al. discover that HAT1 also binds an acetate-sensitive promoter element in histone H4 genes. Therefore, histone production and acetylation are linked by HAT1 to drive cell division via acetyl-Co-A regeneration.
