H4K16ac

Loss of H4K16 acetylation is a hallmark of human cancer (PMID: 15765097). SIRT1-dependent deacetylation of H4K16 is accompanied by Histone H1 recruitment and loss of H3K79 methylation leading to gene repression (PMID: 15469825). Shown to be enriched at the transcription start site (TSS) and along gene bodies (PMID: 18552846). It inhibits subsequent poly ADP-ribosylation by PARP1 (PMID: 20525793). H4K16ac, has a critical role at multiple stages in the cellular DNA damage response and DSB repair. (PMID: 20479123).
