CREB Binding Protein (CBP) and p300

 


CBP and p300 are highly related histone acetyltransferases (HATs).  The following figure shows the domain structure of p300.


Figure 4-G-2.  The domain structure of p300 and the regions interacting with transcription regulators.  "Bromo" represents Bromodomain which specifically binds to acetylated lysine.  "CH-1, CH-2 and CH-3" are cysteine/histidine-rich regions.
