Function | Catalytic tRNA acetyltransferase subunit of the elongator complex which is required for multiple tRNA modifications, including mcm5U (5-methoxycarbonylmethyl uridine), mcm5s2U (5- methoxycarbonylmethyl-2-thiouridine), and ncm5U (5-carbamoylmethyl uridine) (PubMed:29415125). In the elongator complex, acts as a tRNA uridine(34) acetyltransferase by mediating formation of carboxymethyluridine in the wobble base at position 34 in tRNAs (By similarity). May also act as a protein lysine acetyltransferase by mediating acetylation of target proteins; such activity is however unclear in vivo and recent evidences suggest that ELP3 primarily acts as a tRNA acetyltransferase (PubMed:29415125). Involved in neurogenesis: regulates the migration and branching of projection neurons in the developing cerebral cortex, through a process depending on alpha-tubulin acetylation (PubMed:19185337). Required for acetylation of GJA1 in the developing cerebral cortex (By similarity). |

Background
Elongator complex protein 3, also named KAT9, is aproteinthat in humans is encoded by theELP3gene. It is mapped to 8p21.1. ELP3 is the catalytichistone acetyltransferasesubunit of theRNA polymeraseII elongator complex, which is a component of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II)holoenzymeand is involved in transcriptional elongation. ELP3 supports the migration and branching ofprojection neuronsthroughacetylationof alpha-tubulin in the developingcerebral cortex. In mammals, ELP3 is important for paternalDNA demethylationafterfertilization.ELP3 is potentially involved in cellular redoxhomeostasisby mediating the acetylation ofglucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Besides, ELP3 may play a role inchromatin remodelingand is involved in acetylation ofhistones H3and probablyH4.
