Gene Description

Histone acetyltransferase RTT109 (also KAT11, Regulator of Ty1 transposition protein 109) catalyzes acetylation of newly synthesized histone H3 at lysines 56, 9, 27, 14, and 23 in coordination with histone chaperone cofactors Vps75 and Asf1. RTT109 is required for normal replication-dependent nucleosome assembly and genome stability, as H3K56ac marks nascent DNA and facilitates proper chromatin assembly while preventing double-strand break formation. RTT109 also prevents DNA-RNA hybrid accumulation through H3K14 and H3K23 acetylation. The enzyme exhibits a unique bipartite architecture with N-terminal PAT domain and C-terminal activation domain, undergoes autoacetylation at K290 for catalytic activation, and works with histone chaperones on non-nucleosomal histone H3.

Proposed New Ontology Terms

negative regulation of R-loop formation

Definition: Any process that decreases the rate, frequency, or extent of R-loop (DNA-RNA hybrid) formation, for example by a chromatin state or histone modification that renders the DNA template less permissive to hybridization with nascent RNA.

Justification: RTT109 loss increases cellular R-loop/DNA-RNA hybrid levels via loss of H3K14 and H3K23 acetylation (PMID:35866610), a function distinct from its defining H3K56ac role in replication-coupled nucleosome assembly and from its separate role in repairing R-loop-associated DNA breaks. No existing GO term captures formation-prevention specifically; the only R-loop process term, GO:0062176 (R-loop processing), is defined as R-loop disassembly, the opposite direction of effect. The mechanism here is chromatin-based β€” H3K14/H3K23 acetylation rendering the template less permissive to DNA-RNA hybridization β€” but chromatin organization is the mechanism rather than the parent class. Because the term being proposed is a negative-regulation class, it is parented under GO:0051053 (negative regulation of DNA metabolic process), the nearest existing negative-regulation ancestor, R-loop processing being itself classified in GO as a DNA metabolic process.

Parent term: negative regulation of DNA metabolic process

IEA
GO_REF:0000002

GO:0006351 DNA-templated transcription
IEA
GO_REF:0000043
MODIFY
Summary: RTT109 indirectly affects DNA-templated transcription through transcriptional buffering
Reason: The UniProt keyword mapping to DNA-templated transcription overshoots because Rtt109 acetylates newly deposited histone H3 and regulates transcriptional homeostasis from chromatin, rather than synthesizing RNA from a DNA template. The adjacent GO:0006355 regulation of DNA-templated transcription row already captures that secondary regulatory role.

Summary: Rtt109 can bind Nap1, but only the paralogous Vps75 chaperone stimulates catalysis.
Reason: Park et al. found that Nap1 and Vps75 bind Rtt109 with similar affinities but that only Vps75 stimulates Rtt109 enzymatic activity. The Nap1 interaction is therefore not a separate, informative RTT109 molecular function beyond generic protein binding.
Supporting Evidence:

Nap1 and Vps75 interact with histones and Rtt109 with comparable affinities. However, only Vps75 stimulates Rtt109 enzymatic activity.

Core Functions

RTT109 catalyzes acetylation of histone H3 lysine 56 on newly synthesized, non-nucleosomal histones during S-phase DNA replication. This is the defining, essential, and most extensively characterized enzymatic function of RTT109. H3K56 acetylation specifically marks newly replicated DNA and facilitates nucleosome assembly.

In addition to H3K56, RTT109 catalyzes acetylation of histone H3 at lysines 9, 27, 14, and 23 depending on histone chaperone cofactor context (Vps75 vs Asf1). These activities contribute to chromatin assembly, R-loop suppression, and proper nucleosome dynamics during replication.
