Gene Description

mst1 encodes the fission-yeast ESA1/TIP60-family MYST histone acetyltransferase and catalytic subunit of NuA4-family chromatin complexes. Mst1 acts in the nucleus on chromatin, acetylates H2A.Z/Pht1 and histone H3K4 in addition to its conserved histone H4 activity, contributes to RNA polymerase II transcriptional regulation and pericentric heterochromatin assembly, and is recruited to double-strand breaks to promote resection and homologous-recombination repair.

Summary: The eukaryotic MYST-family PAINT node correctly places Mst1 at chromatin.
Reason: PANTHER:PTN004172926 is broad, but its chromatin placement is appropriate for O94446, a fungal PTHR10615:SF218 ESA1 member with direct fission-yeast evidence for Mst1 chromatin binding and chromatin histone acetyltransferase activity.

Summary: The Swr1-complex evidence in PMID:19915592 supports the coupled SWR-C/Pht1/Mst1 pathway but not stable Mst1 membership in Swr1C.
Reason: Kim et al. showed that Swr1C deposits H2A.Z/Pht1 into chromatin and that Mst1 then acetylates chromatin-associated Pht1; the same paper separates fission-yeast Swr1C from the Mst1 acetyltransferase complex. The distinct NuA4 complex is already captured by the direct GO:0035267 row, so this Swr1C membership assertion should simply be removed.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:19915592

Summary: The eukaryotic MYST-family PAINT node gives Mst1 a broad but sound chromatin-binding assertion.
Reason: PANTHER:PTN004172926 records a chromatin-binding capacity shared by nuclear MYST acetyltransferases, and S. pombe Mst1 itself is experimentally nuclear, chromatin-bound, and recruited to pericentric heterochromatin and DSB sites.

Summary: Transcription coregulator activity is an appropriate broad activity for Mst1 as a NuA4 catalytic chromatin acetyltransferase.
Reason: PANTHER placed this term at the broad eukaryotic MYST node, and the transfer is valid for an ESA1/TIP60 ortholog whose acetylation of H2A.Z and H4-associated NuA4 activity are coupled to chromatin-based transcriptional regulation.

Core Functions

Mst1 is the fission-yeast ESA1/TIP60 catalytic subunit of NuA4 and acetylates histones on chromatin, including H4-family substrates and H2A.Z/Pht1, to regulate RNA polymerase II transcription.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:19915592
    WCEs from mst1-L271P cells showed no appreciable change in total Pht1 levels but a profound reduction in Pht1Ac

At pericentric heterochromatin, Mst1 acetylates histone H3K4 and promotes the chromodomain-protein switch that allows Swi6/Chp2-mediated heterochromatin reassembly.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:20299449
    H3K4ac, mediated by Mst1, is enriched at pericentromeres concomitantly with heterochromatin reassembly.

Mst1 is recruited to DNA double-strand breaks and promotes chromatin remodeling needed for efficient repair-protein recruitment and long-range resection.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:33723569
    Here we show that Mst1 is recruited to DSBs. Mutation of mst1 + disrupts recruitment of repair proteins and delays resection.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Is H2A.Z/Pht1 the main Mst1 substrate at double-strand breaks, or does S. pombe Mst1 also acetylate repair proteins or canonical H2A/H4 residues at damage sites?

Q: Can purified S. pombe Mst1/NuA4 use 2-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA or crotonyl-CoA directly, and are either of these secondary acyltransferase activities detectable on physiological histone substrates in fission yeast cells?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Purify native or reconstituted S. pombe NuA4 and compare acetyl-CoA, 2-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA, crotonyl-CoA, and butyryl-CoA use on recombinant nucleosomes and H2A.Z-containing nucleosomes by targeted acyl-lysine mass spectrometry.

Experiment: Combine inducible HO-break ChIP-seq for Mst1, H2A.Z/Pht1, H3K4ac, H4ac, Rad52, RPA, and Exo1 in wild-type, mst1 catalytic, and mst1 chromodomain mutants to separate catalytic versus chromodomain-dependent recruitment steps during homologous-recombination repair.
